RUTHENIUM COMPLEX-CONTAINING CATALYST FOR HYDROGEN TRANSFER REACTION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN TRANSFER REACTION PRODUCT

摘要

This catalyst for a hydrogen transfer reaction contains a ruthenium complex represented by general formula (1) (in the formula, R¹ and R² are each independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group. Two R¹s may bond to each other to form a divalent hydrocarbon group. R¹ and R² may bond to each other to form a divalent hydrocarbon group. R³ and R⁴ are each independently a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group. R³ and R⁴ may bond to each other to form a divalent hydrocarbon group. R⁵ and R⁶ are each independently a monovalent linear aliphatic hydrocarbon group or alicyclic hydrocarbon group. X¹ is a ligand. The bond between the nitrogen atom and the carbon atom bonding to the nitrogen atom is a double bond or a single bond; in the case where the bond is a single bond, one hydrogen atom may be bonded to the nitrogen atom between the ruthenium atom and R¹. m is 0 to 2.).
