Patent number: 9562116Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparation of ruthenium-based carbene catalysts with a chelating alkylidene ligand (“Hoveyda-type catalysts”) by reacting a penta coordinated ruthenium (II)-alkylidene complex of the type (L) (Py)X1X2Ru(alkylidene) with a suitable olefin derivative in a cross metathesis reaction. The method delivers high yields and is conducted preferably in aromatic hydrocarbon solvents. The use of phosphine-containing Ru carbene complexes as starting materials can be avoided. Catalyst products with high purity, particularly with low Cu content, can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignees: UMICORE AG & CO.

Patent number: 8884044Abstract: The invention relates to ruthenium complexes which have a chiral diphosphorus donor ligand and in which the ruthenium has the oxidation state (+11) and the chiral diphosphorus donor ligand has bidentate P—P coordination to the ruthenium. The ruthenium complexes are present in two forms (cationic type A and uncharged type B), are cyclic and have a four- to six-membered ring incorporating the diphosphorus donor ligand. The chiral diphosphorus donor ligands are selected from the group consisting of diphosphines, diphospholanes, diphosphites, diphosphonites and diazaphospholanes. Furthermore, processes for preparing the ruthenium complexes of types A and B, which are based on ligand exchange reactions, are described. The Ru complexes are used as catalysts for homogeneous asymmetric catalysis for preparing organic compounds.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Umicore AG & Co.

Patent number: 8716509Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing ruthenium(0)-olefin complexes of the (arene)(diene)Ru(0) type by reacting a ruthenium starting compound of the formula Ru(+II)(X)p(Y)q (in which X=an anionic group, Y=an uncharged two-electron donor ligand, p=1 or 2, q=an integer from 1 to 6), with a cyclohexadiene derivative or a diene mixture comprising a cyclohexadiene derivative, in the presence of a base. In this process, the arene bound in the (arene)(diene)Ru(0) complex is formed from this cyclohexadiene derivative by oxidation. Suitable ruthenium(II) starting compounds are, for example, RuCl2(acetonitrile)4, RuCl2(pyridine)4 or RuCl2(DMSO)4. The bases used are inorganic or organic bases. The ruthenium(0)-olefin complexes prepared by the process according to the invention have a high purity and can be used as precursors for homogeneous catalysts, for preparation of functional ruthenium- or ruthenium oxide-containing layers and for therapeutic applications.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Umicore AG & Co.

Patent number: 8703985Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for the preparation of ruthenium indenylidene carbene catalysts of the type (L)(L?)X2Ru(II)(aryl-indenylidene). The method comprises the steps of reacting the precursor compound Ru(PPh3)nX2 (n=3-4) with a propargyl alcohol derivative in an cyclic diether solvent such as 1,4-dioxane at temperatures in the range of 80 to 130° C. and reaction times of 1 to 60 minutes.
