Thermoregulated phase-transfer catalysis for the transfer hydrogenation of 2-octanone in 2-propanol/H2O biphasic media was achieved with ruthenium-bearing microgel-core star polymers with amphiphilic, thermosensitive poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) arms [Ru(II)-PEG star], which were directly prepared by the ruthenium-catalyzed living radical polymerization in conjunction with a phosphine ligand-carrying styrene derivative. The star polymers were first placed in the aqueous (lower) layer at room temperature and immediately moved into the organic (upper) layer at 100 °C, and once again, moved down to the aqueous layer (lower) upon cooling the solution to room temperature. The Ru(II)-PEG star catalyst was clearly superior to the original Ru(II) catalyst and related non-microgel catalysts [Ru(II)-PEG block] in terms of activity and recovery/recycle, due to the unique designer structure of the microgel-core star polymers. Other substrates (less hydrophobic alkyl ketones and aromatic ketone) were also efficiently hydrogenated into the corresponding sec-alcohols with the star catalyst in aqueous media. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
