• AlO(OH)-entrapped ruthenium forms highly active robust catalyst for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds.
• Potassium formate is used as a CO2-neutral hydrogen donor.
• Low metal loadings give high turnover frequencies.
• The reduction of both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes is especially facile.
• Highest activity in as-prepared catalyst without requirement for pretreatment.
Ruthenium encapsulated in an aluminium oxyhydroxide-support was investigated for the transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones with potassium formate as a sustainable green hydrogen donor. The entrapped ruthenium were narrowly distributed with mean diameters of 1.5–1.8 nm. XPS studies show that the ruthenium was present as Ru0 and Ru3+. The catalysts showed high activity even at low metal loadings of 0.5–2 wt.%. The maximum TOF for benzaldehyde hydrogenation was over 1 wt.% Ru. The reduction of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes was facile and occurred with 100% yield. In comparison, ketones were less readily reduced although moderate to excellent yields could be obtained after a longer reaction time. No leaching of ruthenium was observed in contrast to a catalyst prepared by wet impregnation. Washing of the used catalyst with water and ethanol effectively removed the deposited bicarbonate co-product and the recycled catalyst maintained its activity up to five runs.
