Garcia-Alvarez, Rocio published the artcileArene-Ruthenium(II) Complexes Containing Inexpensive Tris(dimethylamino)phosphine: Highly Efficient Catalysts for the Selective Hydration of Nitriles into Amides, Name: 2-(3-Benzoylphenyl)propanenitrile, the main research area is ruthenium aminophosphine sandwich complex preparation catalyst hydration nitrile; areneruthenium aminophosphine sandwich complex preparation crystal structure hydration catalyst; mol structure areneruthenium aminophosphine sandwich complex; amide aromatic preparation.

The catalytic hydration of nitriles into amides, in H2O under neutral conditions, was studied using arene-Ru(II) derivatives containing the com. available and inexpensive ligand tris(dimethylamino)phosphine. Among them, best results were obtained with [RuCl2(η6-C6Me6){P(NMe2)3}], which selectively provided the desired amides in excellent yields and short times (TOF values up to 11,400 h-1). The process was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated organonitriles and showed a high functional group tolerance. The stability of [RuCl2(η6-C6Me6){P(NMe2)3}] in H2O was evaluated, observing its progressive decomposition into the less-active dimethylamine-Ru(II) complex [RuCl2(η6-C6Me6)(NHMe2)] by hydrolysis of the coordinated P(NMe2)3 ligand. The x-ray crystal structure determination of the toluene complex [RuCl2(η6-C6H5Me){P(NMe2)3}] is also included.
