    • The crystallographically characterized ruthenium complex RuHCl(A-(i)Pr-PNP)(CO) (1) [A-(i)Pr-PNP = 4,5-bis-(diisopropylphosphinomethyl)acridine], which bears a nonplanar acridine moiety, catalyzes in a neutral medium the transformation of primary alcohols to the corresponding acetals with the liberation of H(2). In the presence of base, complex 1 catalyzes the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols to form esters. Acetal formation may involve hemiacetal dehydration to form an enol ether followed… CONTINUE READING
