• Difference in reactivity of CpRu and Cp*Ru complexes was revealed.
• Unusual binuclear ruthenium complex with bridging flyover ligand was obtained.
• Rare example of reaction between Cp ligand and alkyne was found.
Reaction of CpRu(cod)Cl with phenylacetylene and AcOH gives an unusual binuclear ruthenium complex CpRu(μ-σ,η3:η3,σ-C6H3Ph3)RuCp (5, 58% yield) with a bridging acyclic flyover ligand C6H3Ph3. Under similar conditions [CpRu(MeCN)3]+ undergoes an unexpected cleavage of Cp ligand giving 4,7-diphenyl-3a,7a-dihydroindene (6, 65% yield). In sharp contrast, the pentamethylated congeners Cp*Ru(cod)Cl and [Cp*Ru(MeCN)3]+ react with phenylacetylene and AcOH in catalytic fashion giving 1,4-diphenyl-1-acetoxy-1,3-butadiene. The structures of 5 and 6 were established by X-ray diffraction. The mechanism of Cp ligand cleavage was proposed on the basis of DFT calculations.
A striking difference between reactions of CpRu and Cp*Ru complexes with alkynes was revealed. While Cp*Ru(cod)Cl and [Cp*Ru(MeCN)3]+ catalyze coupling of phenylacetylene with addition of acetic acid, the CpRu congeners are converted into unusual flyover complex or undergo cleavage of Cp ligand.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
