The complex Ru-MACHO
(1) is a widely used precatalyst
for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions under basic conditions.
In an attempt to identify the active catalyst form, 1 was reacted with a strong base. The formation of previously unreported
species was observed by NMR and mass spectrometry. This observation
indicated that complex 1 quickly degraded under basic
conditions when no substrate was present. X-ray crystallography enabled
the identification of three complexes as products of this degradation
of complex 1. These complexes suggested degradation pathways
which included ligand cleavage and reassembly, along with reduction
of the ruthenium atom. One of the decomposition products, the Ru0 complex [Ru(N(CH2CH2PPh2)3)CO] (5), was prepared independently and
studied. 5 was found to be active, entirely additive-free,
in the acceptorless dehydrogenation of aliphatic alcohols to esters.
The hydrogenation of esters catalyzed by 5 was also demonstrated
under base-free conditions with methanol as an additive. Protic substrates
were shown to add reversibly to complex 5, generating
RuII–hydrido species, thus presenting a rare example
of reversible oxidative addition from Ru0 to RuII and reductive elimination from RuII to Ru0.
