摘要:
Oxidation of ruthenium(II) acetylides trans-[Cl(dppe)(2)Ru-Cequivalent toC-CHR2] (R = H, CH3, Ph) leads to cationic radicals of which the stability is found to be highly influenced by the nature of R. This oxidative process leads to a stable cationic radical (R = CH3, H) or to its rearrangement into a neutral radical, trans- [Cl(dppe)(2)Ru-C=C-C-.(R)(2)] for R = Ph. This unprecedented gamma-elimination of a proton provides both the allenylidene trans-[Cl(dppe)(2)Ru=C=C=CR2] PF6 and the vinylidene trans- [Cl(dppe)(2)Ru=C=CH-CHR2]PF6. The allenylidene can be selectively obtained from the acetylide in the presence of a base.
