Abstract:The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formate was achieved using the previously reported dichloro(ƞ6‐p‐cymene){diphenyl(3‐methyl‐2‐indolyl)phosphine}ruthenium (1) as a catalyst under mild conditions. In this complex, the phosphorus‐based ligand adopts a κ1‐P coordination mode. The catalytic activity was achieved in the presence of DBU as a base providing a TONmax value of 3,800. In order to explore potential transformations occurring within the catalytic reactions, a series of stoichiometric tests were perform… Show more
