Abstract
By asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, substituted quinolines, which are generally
regarded as challenging substrates for reduction, were successfully converted into
tetrahydroquinolines using "tethered" Ru(II) and "tethered" Rh(III) complexes in formic
acid/triethylamine.
An ether-linked "tethered" catalyst was successfully synthesized through a sequence
that avoids the use of a Birch reduction for the formation of a 1,4-cyclohexadiene
moiety. The ether link is incorporated between the basic amine of the ligand and the η6-
arene ring, giving results comparable to the alkyl-"tethered" complexes.
N-alkylated complexes containing a straight-chain substituent attached to a hydroxyl,
ether or ester function can act as effective catalysts for the reduction of ketones, and
also contains the required functionality for attachment of the catalyst to a heterogeneous
support.
