Abstract
The present application relates to methods for the catalytic reduction of acid chlorides and/or imidoyl chlorides. The methods comprise reacting the acid chloride or imidoyl chloride with a silane reducing agent in the presence of a catalyst such as [Cp(Pri3P)Ru(NCMe)2]+[PF6]−.
Claims21
A method for the catalytic reduction of a compound selected from an acid chloride and an imidoyl chloride, the method comprising reacting the compound with a silane reducing agent in the presence of a catalyst of Formula I:
- wherein
- Cpx is unsubstituted η5-cyclopentadienyl or η5-cyclopentadienyl substituted with 1 to 5 methyl groups;
- R1, R2 and R3 are each independently selected from C1-6alkyl and C6-10aryl;
- R4 and R5 are each independently C1-4alkyl;
- and
- X− is a counteranion.
