Ruthenium byproducts from ring-closing metathesis reactions can be removed by refluxing the crude reaction mixture with resin-bound triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) in toluene or by stirring with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and silica gel at room temperature. Residual levels of ruthenium can be achieved that are as low as 0.04 microg per 5 mg of product when a combination of TPPO, DMSO, and silica gel is used. The polymer-bound TPPO retained its efficiency after being recycled six times.

Molecular editing of quinazolinones to isoquinolines by a novel ruthenium-catalyzed [4+2] annulation with sulfoxonium ylides has been developed. The method permits the precise and rapid assembly of multisubstituted aminoisoquinolines, a class of heterocycles that play a privileged role in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical development. This new catalytic process exhibits novel programmability, including directed C-H acetylation, nucleophilic cyclization, and alcoholysis.

Formic acid (HCOOH) is a promising source of hydrogen energy that can be used to produce hydrogen in a more economical and ecological way. Formic acid is a simple carboxylic acid with a high hydrogen concentration and is generally stable, making it useful as a hydrogen transporter. Catalytic dehydrogenation is usually used to extract hydrogen from formic acid; this process releases hydrogen gas and yields carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Oxidative cleavage of olefins is a useful reaction in organic synthesis. The most well-known catalytic system is the osmium based Lemieux-Johnson catalyst, which generally requires high catalyst loading and tends to suffer from rapid overoxidation to produce the acid predominantly. Hence, the development of a mild, general, and selective method toward the oxidative cleavage of alkenes to carbonyl compounds is highly desired.

Article Synopsis
- The oxidation efficiency of chlorinated volatile organic compounds is limited by the chlorine poisoning of CeO catalysts, leading to decreased performance and stability.
- Researchers developed Ru- and Nb-co-modified CeO catalysts, which improved activity, stability, and selectivity in oxidizing 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC).
- The study found that Nb bonds enhance acidic sites and HCl selectivity while minimizing chlorinated byproducts, as chlorine preferentially attaches to Nb rather than to the catalyst's oxygen vacancies, facilitating a more effective oxidation process.
Ruthenium-Catalyzed Synthesis of 2-Pyrazolines via Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of Allylic Alcohols with Hydrazines.

Described herein is the synthesis of 2-pyrazolines via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of allylic alcohols with hydrazines based on a Ru(CO)/NHC-phosphine-phosphine ligand catalytic system. The reaction not only exhibits low catalyst loading (only 0.3 mol %), wide substrate scope, good to excellent yields, and high selectivity but also omits the use of sacrificial hydrogen acceptor with only H and HO as byproducts, making the reaction green and atom-economical.
