Photodehydrogenation of alcohols catalysed by a single ruthenium N-Heterocyclic carbene complex
The transition metal catalyzed dehydrogenation of alcohols to carboxylate salts and H2 is an attractive tool due to their potential use as LOHCs (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers). Still, most current methods encompass harsh conditions and two steps synthesis. Herein, we describe an efficient ruthen...

| Sumario: | The transition metal catalyzed dehydrogenation of alcohols to carboxylate salts and H2 is an attractive tool due to their potential use as LOHCs (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers). Still, most current methods encompass harsh conditions and two steps synthesis. Herein, we describe an efficient ruthenium(II) catalyzed hydrogen production from benzylic alcohols to the corresponding carboxylate derivatives assisted by visible light. Our photocatalytic system comprises a standalone N-heterocyclic carbene based piano stool ruthenium complex playing a dual role, harvesting visible-light and enabling H2 generation under mild conditions in aqueous media. |
