PROCESS FOR HYDROGENATION OF CARBONYL AND IMINOCARBONYL COMPOUNDS USING RUTHENIUM CATALYSTS COMPRISING TETRADENTATE DIIMINO-DIPHOSPHINE LIGANDS

摘要

A process for the hydrogenation, using molecular hydrogen (H2), of a catalytic system, wherein the catalytic system comprises a base and a complex of formula; (II) wherein Y represents simultaneously or independently a hydrogen or halogen atom, a hydroxy group, or an alkoxy, carboxyl or other anionic radical, and N2P2 is a tetradentate diimine-diphosphino ligand.
