Résumé
A dehydrogenation of primary amine to give the corresponding nitrile under oxidant- and base-free conditions catalysed by simple [Ru(p-cym)Cl2]2 with no extra ligand is reported. The system is highly selective for alkyl amine whereas benzylamine derivatives gave the nitrile product together with the imine in ratio ranging from 14:1 to 4:1 depending on the substrate. Preliminary mechanistic investigations have been performed to identify the key factors that govern the selectivity.
