A series of 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (tzNHC) complexes of a (p-cymene)ruthenium system was synthesized. The reactivity of the N-bonded and C-bonded aryl groups in the tzNHC ligand was found to be significantly different with respect to intramolecular aromatic C-H bond activation.

Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of cyclic imines using [RuCl(η(6)-p-cymene)TsDPEN] (TsDPEN = N-tosyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) was tested with various aliphatic (secondary, tertiary) and aromatic amines employed in the HCOOH-base hydrogen donor mixture. Significant differences in reaction rates and stereoselectivity were observed, which pointed

Analytical methods for quantitative analysis and chemical fingerprinting of volatile oils from Alpinia oxyphylla were established. The volatile oils were prepared by hydrodistillation, and the yields were between 0.82% and 1.33%. The developed gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) method showed
