Abstract

The first ruthenium dihydride complex featuring a phosphinine ligandcis-[Ru(H)₂(2-PPh₂-3-Me-6-SiMe₃-PC₅H₂)₂] was synthesised exclusively as thecis-isomer. When formedin situfrom the reaction ofcis-[Ru(Cl)₂(2-PPh₂-3-Me-6-SiMe₃-PC₅H₂)₂] with two equivalents of Na[BHEt₃], as demonstrated by³¹P and¹H NMR spectroscopy, the catalysed acceptorless dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol was observed leading to benzyl benzoate in up to 70% yield.
