Phosphine, tris(4-methylphenyl)- → HCID 10855191, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the procedure of Example 1, 50 mls. of methanol, 6.0 grams of tri-paratolylphosphine and 1.0 gram of ruthenium trichloride hydrate are stirred and heated at reflux under nitrogen for 24 hours to form tris(tri-paratolylphosphine) ruthenium dichloride as an insoluble powder which is recovered by filtration (4.2 grams). A portion of this powder (0.5 gram) is dissolved in a mixture containing 50 mls. of methanol and 0.5 gram of anhydrous sodium acetate. The resulting mixture is heated with stirring at reflux temperature under nitrogen for 5 hours to form yellow solids (0.21 gram) which are identified as the desired hydridoacetato ruthenium tris(tri-paratolylphosphine).
