Abstract

Novel [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(κ 2-L)X] and [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(κ 3-L)]X•nH 2O complexes (L = bis-, tris-, or tetrakis-pyrazolylborate; X = Cl, N 3, PF 6, or CF 3SO 3) are prepared by treatment of [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)Cl 2] 2 with poly(pyrazolyl)borate derivatives [M(L)] (L in general; in detail L = Ph 2Bp = diphenylbis(pyrazol-1-yl)borate; L = Tp = hydrotris(pyrazol-1- yl)borate; L = pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazol-1-yl)borate; L = Tp 4Bo = hydrotris(indazol-1-yl)borate, L = Tp 4Bo,5Me = hydrotris(5- methylindazol-1-yl)borate; L = Tp Bn,4Ph = hydrotris(3-benzyl-4- phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borate; M = Na, K, or Tl) and characterized by analytical and spectral data (IR, ESIMS, 1H and 13C NMR). The structures of [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(Ph 2Bp)Cl] (1) and [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(Tp)Cl] (3) have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Electrochemical studies allowed comparing the electron-donor characters of Tp and related ligands and estimating the corresponding values of the Lever E L ligand parameter. The complexes [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(κ 2-L)X] and [Ru(η 6-p-cymene)(κ 3-L)]X•nH 2O act as catalyst precursors for the diastereoselective nitroaldol reaction of benzaldehyde and nitroethane to the corresponding β-nitroalkanol (up to 82% yield, at room temperature) with diastereoselectivity toward the formation of the threo isomer.
