Selective Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenations of Nitriles to Amines with 2-Butanol
Transfer your hydrogen: Fast and general transfer hydrogenation of nitriles to form primary amines is possible with a homogeneous Ru/1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (DPPB) catalyst (see scheme). The use of 2‐butanol as the hydrogen‐transfer reagent is essential for the selective reduction of aromat...

Summary: | Transfer your hydrogen: Fast and general transfer hydrogenation of nitriles to form primary amines is possible with a homogeneous Ru/1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (DPPB) catalyst (see scheme). The use of 2‐butanol as the hydrogen‐transfer reagent is essential for the selective reduction of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic nitriles with this system. |
