Tuning the Chemoselectivity of Rh Nanoparticle Catalysts by Site-Selective Poisoning with Phosphine Ligands: The Hydrogenation of Functionalized Aromatic Compounds

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Ning Yan, Weijia Gan, Dennis Snelders

The hydrogenation of phenylacetone to cyclohexylacetone, in which the aromatic ring is selectively reduced in preference to the carbonyl group, has been achieved with chemoselectivities exceeding 90%. The catalyst (precatalyst) used to achieve this transfo ...

Efficient Synthesis of beta-Chlorovinylketones from Acetylene in Chloroaluminate Ionic Liquids

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dennis Snelders

A method for the Friedel-Crafts-type insertion reaction of acetylene with acid chlorides in chloroaluminate ionic liquids is presented. The use of Ionic liquids not only serves to avoid the use of carbon tetrachloride or 1,2-dichloroethane but also suppres ...

Ruthenium(II) arene complexes with oligocationic triarylphosphine ligands: Synthesis, DNA interactions and in vitro properties

Paul Joseph Dyson, Angela Casini, Fabio Edafe, Dennis Snelders

The synthesis, DNA binding properties and cytotoxicity of a series of Ru(II)-arene complexes containing oligocationic ammonium-functionalized triarylphosphines, of the type Ru(p-cymene)Cl-2(L) (L - oligocationic phosphine), are reported. The complexes are ...

Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Hydrogen Generation from Formic Acid using Cationic, Ammoniomethyl-Substituted Triarylphosphine Ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Weijia Gan, Dennis Snelders

The selective catalytic decomposition of formic acid into hydrogen and carbon dioxide has been achieved in water under mild conditions. For the first time, a ruthenium ion in combination with series of oligocationic, ammoniomethyl-substituted triarylphosph ...
