Abstract

The 2-phosphinophosphinine 2-PPh₂-3-Me-6-SiMe₃-PC₅H₂ (2) has been prepared and was shown to act as a κ²-chelating ligand in cis-[RuCl₂(2)₂] (4). Complex 4 was a competent precatalyst for the room temperature transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone (0.1 mol% 4 and 0.5 mol% KO^tBu) and the conversion of methanol/ethanol mixtures to the advanced biofuel isobutanol in 50% yield and 96% selectivity.
