Abstract:The carbonyl group is arguably the most versatile functional group for synthetic purposes. Here, a series of N,N’‐bis(pyridylideneamide) (bisPYA) complexes of ruthenium(II), [Ru(cym)(bisPYA)Cl]+ (cym=cymene), were synthesized and applied as catalysts for Lemieux‐Johnson oxidation of alkenes to access carbonyl functionalities. Complexes bearing para‐ and ortho‐bisPYA ligands induce higher activity and selectivity than their mesoionic meta‐bisPYA analogues. The non‐coordinating counterion of the cationic complex… Show more
