✦ Synopsis


The hydrogenation of benzene and other arenes under aqueous-organic biphasic conditions is evaluated using the ruthenium complexes Ru(h 6 -C 10 H 14 )(pta)Cl 2 (pta 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), Ru(h 6 -C 10 H 14 )(tppts)Cl 2 (tppts tris-3-sulfonatophenylphosphine trisodium salt) and [Ru(h 6 -C 10 H 14 )(pta) 2 Cl] . The active catalysts formed during the hydrogenations correspond to a trinuclear cluster, a colloid and a mononuclear complex, respectively.
