Multifunctional Ruthenium Catalysts: A Novel Borohydride-Stabilized Polyhydride Complex Containing the Basic, Chelating Diphosphine 1,4-Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)butane and Its Application to Hydrogenation and Murai Catalysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
[RuCl 2 (dcypb)(CO)] 2 2 (dcypb = 1,4-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)butane) was prepared in high yield via phosphine exchange between dcypb and RuCl 2 (CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 (DMF) ( 1 ). Reaction of 2 with 8 equiv of KBH s Bu 3 affords [ fac -RuH 3 (CO)(dcypb)] - ( 3 ), stabilized by interactions with a K + counterion and an intact KBH s Bu 3 molecule in the third coordination sphere. Substantial ion pairing accounts for the stability and high hydrocarbon solubility of 3 . Complex 3 effects reduction of benzophenone under unprecedentedly mild conditions, at 1 atm of H 2 in refluxing 2-propanol. It is also active for ortho functionalization of benzophenone under 20 atm of ethylene. Stoichiometric experiments reveal facile formation of ortho-metalated RuH(CO)[OC(C 6 H 4 )(Ph)](dcypb) ( 5 ), an intermediate proposed in both types of catalysis. The catalytic activity of isolated 5 supports this hypothesis in the case of hydrogenation but not of Murai catalysis. The X-ray crystal structures of 3 and 5 are reported.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
