Efficient hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes catalysed by a well-defined PNNP–rhenium complex
Well-defined rhenium complexes bearing a tetradentate PNNP ligand were developed for the first time. These new complexes exhibit much better performance in catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl derivatives into alcohols compared to the corresponding aminophosphine-ligand-constituted complex (<i>o</i>-PPh<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Re(CO)<sub>2</sub>Cl. Under the optimized conditions, the highest turnover frequency and turnover number can be up to 4041 h<sup>-1</sup> and 61008, respectively.
