Aldol C—C bond formation reactions of ethyl cyanoacetate with benzaldehydes were catalyzed by ruthenium 1,2-naphthoquinone-1-oxime (1-nqo) complex, cis,cis-[Ru(1-nqo)2(CO)(NCMe)] (1) or trans,trans- [Ru(1-nqo)2(PBu3)2] (PBu3=tributylphosphine) (2). The reactions were monitored by GC and the products were characterized by GC-MS and 1H NMR spectra. Except the reaction of p-formylbenzaldehyde that gave both single and double adducts, a single aldol product was detected in the catalytic reactions. 1H NMR measurement of the purified products indicated that the stereochemistry of the products is E, showing the anti-selectivity of the catalytic reaction. The yield of 2 catalyzed reactions is higher than that of 1.
