Key Points

The aim is to investigate the catalytic mechanism of the NNN pincer-Ruthenium complex in transforming ethanol to ethyl acetate.
Utilized NNN pincer-Ru complex Cy2NNN(RuCl2)(PPh3) at 0.08M concentration.
Conducted catalytic dehydrogenative coupling reactions with ethanol.
Employed quantitative analysis to measure the production of ethyl acetate.
Achieved production of up to 1.32 M of ethyl acetate from ethanol.
Demonstrated efficient catalytic activity using the pincer-Ruthenium complex.

Implication

Mechanistic studies demonstrate efficient conversion of ethanol to ethyl acetate using a ruthenium catalyst, indicating a promising catalytic method.

Abstract

NNN pincer-Ru complex Cy2NNN(RuCl2)(PPh3) [0.08M] based on bis(imino)pyridine ligand efficiently brings about the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of ethanol resulting in up to 1.32 M of ethyl acetate in the presence...
