Abstract:
A four-electron-reduced ruthenium(ii) NADH-type complex, [Ru(bbnpH4)(CO)2Cl](PF6) (bbnpH4 = 2,2'-(4-(tert-butyl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(5,10-dihydrobenzo[b][1,5]naphthyridine)), has been successfully synthesized by mixing an NAD+-type ligand, bbnp (bbnp = 2,2'-(4-(tert-butyl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(benzo[b][1,5]naphthyridine)), and [Ru(CO)2Cl2] under moderate water-gas-shift reaction conditions, which has been fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, ESI-TOF mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
