Transfer hydrogenation with a ferrocene diamide ruthenium complex

Abstract

The use of a 1,1′-ferrocenediamide ruthenium complex as a mediator for base-free transfer hydrogenation is reported. Ketones were transformed to their respective alcohols at room temperature in 36–99% conversions with turnover frequencies up to 339 h−1.
