A H-transfer catalyst. It is used in carbonylation catalysis of the allylic amination of unactivated olefins by nitroarenes, reductive carbonylation of mononitro aromatic compounds to carbamates, and as a catalyst for cycloaddition reactions. It is employed as a precursor for the synthesis of Ru nanoparticles. Catalyst used in the intermolecular [3+2+1] cycloaddition of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones with silylacetylenes and carbon monoxide, to produce alpha-pyrones. Catalyzes the coupling of silanes with thiols, alcohols and amines with high turnover number (TON) and high turnover frequency (TOF).
