DIHYDRIDOTETRAKIS(TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE)RUTHENIUM(II) Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

ochre lustrous powder

Uses

Catalyst for hydration of nitriles, isomerization of alkynes,Knoevenagel reactions and conjugate additions, and transferhydrogenation

Synthesis

The Preparative Method of Dihydridotetrakis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II): prepared from Ruthenium(III) Chloride or ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate by reduction with Triethylaluminum in the presence of Triphenylphosphine in THF or benzene under nitrogen at room temperature. The complex can also be prepared by reacting Dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) with Sodium Borohydride and triphenylphosphine.

Purification Methods

Dihydridotetrakis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) could be recrystallized from benzene, toluene, or THF.

Precautions

Dihydridotetrakis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) is air and light-sensitive and should be stored under argon in the dark.
