Abstract

A secondary phosphine oxide-phosphine mixed tridentate ligand and its ruthenium complex have been developed. This complex shows excellent catalytic activity for carbonyl reduction, especially for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The turnover number and selectivity can reach up to 36500 and 99%, respectively. Control experiments and DFT calculations supported an outer-sphere mechanism during the hydrogenation reaction. © 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
