General description

Ruthenium(III) chloride is a chemical compound, that can be used as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for the acetalization of aldehydes, acetalization of alcohols, and conversion of ketoximes to amides. Additionally, it can also be used as a precursor to synthesize Ru nanoparticles.

Other Notes

Application

Ruthenium(III) chloride is used as a catalyst:

  • In the synthesis of β‐amino alcohols by nucleophilic opening of epoxides with anilines.
  • In the acetylation of varies of phenols, alcohols, thiols, and amines under mild conditions.
  • In the synthesis of α‐aminonitriles by mixing aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanides.

We selected ruthenium (Ru) to improve the photocatalytic activity of a WO3/ZrO2 composite. The synthesized Ru/WO3/ZrO2 was then compared to a benchmark photocatalyst (S-TiO2) in terms of photocatalytic disinfection of raw surface waters collected from the Nile Delta region, Egypt.

We studied the role of alkali cations in the [{RuCl2(p-cymene)}2]-pseudo-dipeptide-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones with isopropanol. Lithium salts were shown to increase the enantioselectivity of the reaction when iPrONa or iPrOK was used as the base. Similar transfer-hydrogenation systems
