2,2'-Bipyridine → HCID 178445812, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

RuClCp* (cod) (3.8 mg, 0.01 mmol), KOH (0.04 mmol), 2,2′-bipyridyl (3.1 mg, 0.02 mmol) and 4-t-butylcyclohexanone (385.63 mg. 2.5 mmol) were dissolved into 10 ml of 2-propanol. and deaerated by argon substitution, after which the total amount of the resulting mixture was transferred into a 100-milliliter metallic autoclave. Hydrogen was then charged to a predetermined pressure (4 atm), and the reaction was started at room temperature (28° C.) After the reaction solution was stirred for 18 hours, the reaction pressure was brought back to atmospheric pressure, and the reaction products, cis-4-t-bucylcyclohexanol (yield 23.2 and trans-4-t-butylcyclohexanol (yield 38.2%), were identified and quantitatively determined by TLC monitor (silica gel: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1) and gas chromatography of the reaction solution,
