Abstract:
Fluoride additive to [(p-cymene)RuCl2]2, a readily available ruthenium catalyst, allows one to achieve milder conditions for the reductive alkylation of aldehydes with ketones using carbon monoxide as a reducing agent. The procedure is suitable for the broad substrate scope, and a probable explanation for the fluoride role was provided.
