Abstract
An unreported ruthenium(ii) complex containing bisoxazoline ligands has been synthesized and characterized. To test the catalytic ability of the ruthenium complex, the synthesis of anilines from nitro compounds in the presence of a mild reducing agent sodium borohydride and visible light has been developed. Mechanistic studies involving the experiment and DFT calculations suggest that the reaction could involve a radical pathway with the assistance of a photoredox catalyst.
