Synthesis of dichloro-sulphoxide complexes of ruthenium (II) and their use as catalysts for homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation

Syntheses of a number of chiral and non-chiral sulphoxides and corresponding Ru(II) sulphoxide compounds are described, as well as significant reactions of some of these complexes with molecular hydrogen, olefins, and carbon monoxide. The new sulphoxides presented are: (S,R;S,S)-(+)-2-methylbutyl m...
