TAILIEUCHUNG - Spectrometric elucidation of intermediates in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones catalyzed by complex of ruthenium (II) and isosorbide-based ligand
The recorded high resolution mass spectra when following the typical protocol for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone confirmed an involvement of the active complex mono-hydride ruthenium in the catalytic circle. As a result, high resolution mass spectra in research on catalytic mechanism can be therefore employed as an alternative tool for studying catalytic mechanism. | Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, International Edition, 54(4): 471-476, 2016 DOI: Spectrometric elucidation of intermediates in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones catalyzed by complex of ruthenium (II) and isosorbide-based ligand Huynh Khanh Duy Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology Received 7 June 2016; Accepted for publication 12 August 2016 Abstract The use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for the detection of the intermediate species involved in the ruthenium(II)/β-amino-alcohol derived from isosorbide reduction of ketones to alcohols is described. The formation of active complex of ruthenium (II) for catalyzing the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones was observed from 1 H-NMR spectra. From high resolution mass spectra, peaks of group of isotopes allow to conform the existence of active species of ruthenium (II) in the presence of isosorbide-based ligand. The recorded high resolution mass spectra when following the typical protocol for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone confirmed an involvement of the active complex mono-hydride ruthenium in the catalytic circle. As a result, high resolution mass spectra in research on catalytic mechanism can be therefore employed as an alternative tool for studying catalytic mechanism. Keywords.

INTRODUCTION Isosorbide 1, also known as (3R,3aR,6S,6aR)hexahydrofuro[ 3,2-b]furan-3,6-diol, is a renewable, and commercially available chiral carbohydrate. Isosorbide is basically two fused tetrahydrofuran rings having the cis-arrangement at the ring junction, giving a wedge-shaped molecule [1]. The compound bears two hydroxyl groups, one at C6 having the exoorientation with respect to the wedge-shaped molecule, and the other at C3 having the endoorientation, which makes possible the intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the oxygen atom of .
