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.

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.

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.

Multifunctional microgel-core star polymers with ruthenium catalysts are designed as catalyst-bearing nanoreactors to improve activity, controllability, and functionality tolerance in living radical polymerization. Multifunctional ligands are efficiently incorporated into the core of star polymers by sequential tandem procedures: 1) ruthenium-catalyzed

Several transition metal salts were found to catalyze aza-Michael reactions of enones with carbamates efficiently. The catalytic activity was strongly dependent on the nature of the metal salts. While conventional Lewis acids such as BF(3).OEt(2), AlCl(3), or TiCl(4) showed lower
