An amide-derived NNN-Ru(II) hydride complex
catalyzes oxidant-free, acceptorless, and chemoselective dehydrogenation of
primary and secondary amines to the corresponding nitriles and imines with
liberation of dihydrogen. The catalyst system tolerates oxidizable
functionality and is selective for the dehydrogenation of primary amines (−CH2NH2)
in the presence of amines without α-CH hydrogens.
