Intramolecular Arene Displacement Reaction of Ru Complexes Bearing a Primary Amine Ligand with Aromatic Moiety

摘要

Mononuclear RuCl_2(eta~6-C_6H_5CO_2C_2H_5)[eta~1-(aminoarene)] complexes,in which the amino group and aromatic moiety is connected by suitable aliphatic carbon chains,have been found to undergo intramolecular arene displacement reaction to give tethered complexes,RuCl_2[eta~1:eta~6-(aminoarene)] in good yields.These tethered complexes combined with base showed catalytic activity toward hydrogen transfer reaction between carbonyls and alcohols.
