Abstract:
The utilisation of mono- and bidentate p-cymene Ru(II)–NHC complexes as pre-catalysts, along with formic acid as the hydrogen source, facilitates the formation of active diruthenium intermediates featuring bridging chlorido and/or hydrido ligands, which play a key role in the conversion of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone.
