Popis: | The reaction of [RuCl 2 (cod)] x (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene), 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (IPr), tricyclo-hexylphosphane (PCy 3 ) and KOtBu in a 1:1:2:1 ratio affords the new alkenyl carbene complex [RuCl(IPr")(PCy 3 ) 2 ] (1) in 24 % isolated yield. Triphenylphosphane complex [RuCl-(IPr")(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (2) was isolated together with the single C-H activated complex [RuCl(IPr')(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (3). Complexes 1 and 2 feature a metalated isopropenyl substituent on the IPr" ligand, which results from the triple C-H activation of an isopropyl group. A stepwise mechanism for the formation of complexes 1 and 2 is proposed. |
