[(4′-Ph-terpy)(bipy)Ru(L)](OTf)n and [(4′-Ph-terpy)(quS)Ru(L)](OTf)n (n = 0 or 1 depending on the charge of L, L = labile ligand, e.g., H2O, CH3CN or OTf, bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, quS = quinoline-8-thiolate) have been evaluated as catalysts for the hydrogenation of the biomass-derivable C6-substrates 2,5-dimethylfuran (obtainable from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) and 2,5-hexanedione (the hydrolysis product of 2,5-dimethylfuran). Operating in aqueous acidic medium at T = 175–225 °C the bipy complex is only marginally active, while the quinoline-8-thiolate complex realizes yields of hydrogenated products up to 97% starting from 2,5-hexanedione and up to 66% starting from 2,5-dimethylfuran. The catalyst can also convert the 5-HMF derived acetone 4-(5-methyl-2-furanyl)-3-buten-2-one into 2,5,8-nonatriol, a potentially valuable cross-linker for polymer formulations. On the basis of DFT calculations, the higher activity of the quinoline-8-thiolate complex is proposed to be rooted in a metal–ligand bifunctional mechanism for the heterolytic activation and transfer of dihydrogen to the carbonyl substrate with the hydride-thiol complex [(4′-Ph-terpy)(quSH)Ru(H)]+ as the active catalyst.
The complex [(4′-Ph-terpy)(quSH)Ru(H)]+ acts as a metal–ligand bifunctional ionic hydrogenation catalyst for the conversion of the biomass derivable substrates 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2,5-hexanedione and 4-(5-methyl-2-furanyl)-3-buten-2-one to value-added products in aqueous medium.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
