Synthesis and catalytic properties of 1-alkylperimidineruthenium(II) complexes

The synthesis and characterization of the new complexes RuCl2(N-alkylperimidine)(p-cymene) are presented. New in situ generated ruthenium(perimidine) complexes are active catalysts to perform the cycloisomerization of 1,6-diallyltosylamide.
