Imidazole derivatives are effective ligands for promoting the [Ru3(CO)12]-catalyzed hydroesterification of alkenes using formates. Extensive ligand screening was performed to identify 2-hydroxymethylated imidazole as the optimal ligand. Neither carbon monoxide gas nor a directing group was required, and the reaction also showed a wide substrate generality. The Ru-imidazole catalyst system also promoted intramol. hydrocarbamoylation to afford lactams. A Ru-imidazole complex was unambiguously analyzed by x-ray crystallog., and it had a trinuclear structure derived from one [Ru3(CO)12] and two ligands. This complex was also successfully used for hydroesterification. The mechanism was examined in detail by using D- and 13C-labeled formates, indicating that the hydroesterification reaction proceeds by a decarbonylation-recarbonylation pathway.
