Abstract

Indirect CO ₂ hydrogenation: Hydrogenation of urea derivatives to the corresponding amines and methanol is reported (see picture). The reaction is catalyzed by a bipyridine-based tridentate PNN Ru(II) pincer complex and proceeds under mild, neutral conditions using 13.6 atm of H ₂. A mild approach is offered for the indirect hydrogenation of CO ₂ to methanol as urea derivatives are available from CO ₂.
