The tolyl analogue of Shvo's hydroxycyclopentadienyl ruthenium hydride (4) efficiently transfers a hydride and proton to benzaldehyde or acetophenone to produce all alcohol. This reduction call be performed in toluene, methylene chloride, and THF Reduction of benzaldehyde in toluene and methylene chloride occurs approximately 300 times faster than in THF at 0 degrees C. Reduction of acetophenone occurs between 75 and 150 times slower than benzaldellyde at 0 degrees C in each respective solvent. Despite the differences in rate, mechanistic Studies have provided evidence for a similar concerted transfer of acidic and hydridic hydrogens in each solvent. Addition of water to THF led to further rate decrease Coupled with an increase in the OH/D kinetic isotope effect and a decrease in the RuH/D kinetic isotope effect. Addition of excess alcohol to toluene or methylene chloride results in the significant retardation of the rate of reduction. The slower rate in THF and in the presence of alcohol is attributed to the stabilization of the ground state of ruthenium hydride 4 by hydrogen bonding and the additional energy required to break these bonds prior to carbonyl reduction.
