Ruthenium half-sandwich complexes ligated to chiral 2-oxazolidinethiones or 2-thiazolidinethiones have been examined in the reduction of N-benzylideneaniline using silyl hydrides as reductants. The chemoselective reduction of imines takes place under mild conditions to afford the corresponding amines in nearly quant. yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that dissociation of the ancillary ligands generate the active catalyst in all the complexes studied, which is the same species generated by [Ru(p-cymene)(Cl)2]2 under the reaction conditions. This results in the formation of a single catalytic species irresp. of the starting half-sandwich complex. Detailed mechanistic studies involving trapping of intermediates, in situ studies using mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy were carried out using the active catalyst generated by [Ru(p-cymene)(Cl)2]2. The mechanism of the reaction is dependent on the number of the hydrogen atoms in the reducing silane. The reaction proceeds via Gade-Hoffman pathway or Zheng-Chan pathway when a dihydro or trihydrosilane is the reductant. However, the use of a monohydrosilane, leads to longer reaction times presumably due to a change in the reaction pathway.
