Abstract

Catalytic hydrogen transfer in the acetophenone/propan-2-ol system by complexes formedin situ of RuCl3 and the ligands ofo-phenylene diamine (PDA);o-aminophenol (APO);o-aminobenzoic acid (ABA); 2,2′-dipyridyl (BIPY), has been studied. The effect of APO/Ru ratio indicates the homogeneous nature of the catalytic process, proved by the absence of the inhibiting effect of added mercury (Hg). The experimental results show that RuCl3/APO exhibits fairly high catalytic activity even if under the air.
