Contribution
The study introduces Ru(BINAP)(OMs)2 as a more effective catalyst compared to existing versions.
Findings
Ru(L)(X)2 complexes were successfully synthesized and characterized.
Ru(BINAP)(OMs)2 outperformed Ru(BINAP)(OAc)2 in catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation.
Anion variation significantly impacts catalytic performance in these reactions.
Abstract
A series of Ru(L)(X)2 complexes (L = bidentate ligand; X = OMs, OTs, OTf) was synthesized and characterized. Ru(BINAP)(OMs)2 showed improved catalytic performance over the established Ru(BINAP)(OAc)2 catalyst, highlighting the impact of anion variation on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenations.
