摘要:
Reaction of RuCl2(PPh3)(3) (1) or RuHCl(PPh3)(3) (2) with KOAr (Ar = 4-(BuC6H4)-Bu-t) in non-alcohol solvents affords pi-aryloxide derivatives Ru(eta(5)-ArO)(o-C6H4PPh2)(PPh3) (3a) or RuH(eta(5)-ArO)(PPh3)(2) (6a), respectively. The phenoxide analogues 3b and 6b are obtained on use of KOPh or TIOPh. Treatment of 1 with 1 equiv. KOAr in the presence of isopropanol liberates the phenol and acetone, affording clean 2 in quantitative yields. In 3:1 methanol-CH2Cl2, RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)(3) (4) is also formed in small amounts. eaction of 1 with 2 KOAr in 20% MeOH-CH2Cl2 affords a mixture of 6a and RuH2(CO)(PPh3)(3) (5). In the corresponding reaction of 2 with 1 KOAr, sigma-pi isomerization of the sigma-aryloxide ligand dominates, affording 6a(.)MeOH as the principal product. Treatment of 6a with ethereal HCl gives [RuH(eta(6)-ArOH)(PPh3)(2)]Cl (7a); the corresponding reaction of 6b yields Rucl(eta(5)- PhO)(PPh3)(2) (8b). The crystal structures of 3a, 3b, 4, 5, 7a, and 8b are reported. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
