Abstract

Reactions of RuCl(PPh(3))(2)Cp* with 1-alkynes in non-polar solvents afford the neutral vinylidene complexes RuCl(C=CHR)(PPh(3))Cp* [R = Ph (X-ray structure), Bu(t), SiMe(3), CO(2)Me]; a novel 1,3 elimination of HCl induced by NaOMe in the presence of a variety of ligands gives the chiral-at-metal complexes Ru(C=CR)(L)(PPh(3))Cp* [L = CO, C2H4 (X-ray structure), PR(3), P(OR)(3), O-2, S-2, CS2 (for example)].
