Cyclopentadienyl RuII Complexes as Highly Efficient Catalysts for the N-Methylation of Alkylamines by Methanol

The ruthenium(II) half-sandwich complex [RuCl(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2] (1) catalyses the reaction between methanol and alkylamines RNH2 or R1R2NH to afford RN(CH3)2 and R1R2NCH3 products, respectively. The reaction is quantitative and generally fast, at the methanol reflux temperature, for a wide spectrum of substrates. Starting form primary amines, the stepwise formation of RN=CH2, RNHCH3, and RN(CH3)2 has been observed. Both PPh3 and Cl- dissociation from 1 are key-steps in forming the effective catalytic species. The catalytic activity of several half-sandwich neutral or cationic complexes (2-15) related to 1 is also discussed.
