In contrast, the ruthenium cyclometallated (k2-C,P) complexes (C3eC9) were obtained with phosphines containing a polycyclic aromatic substituent (L3-L9), namely 1-naphthyl, 9-phenanthryl or 1-pyrenyl. Some diastereoselectivity in the cyclometallation process has been observed for the most bulky ligands. The new compounds have been used as catalytic precursors in the reduction of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol by transfer hydrogenation.31 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier B.V., 2019http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esRuteniCatàlisi asimètricaRutheniumEnantioselective catalysisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6901952020-05-27info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
