Synthesis, structure, and C-H bond activation chemistry of ([eta][sup 6]-arene)Ru(H)[sub 2](SiMe[sub 3])[sub 2] complexes
- Univ. of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA (United States)
The ([eta][sup 6]-arene)Ru(H)[sub 2](SiMe[sub 3])[sub 2] arene = C[sub 6]-Me[sub 6] (1a), p-cymene (1b), C[sub 6]H[sub 6] (1c) complexes have been prepared and characterized. The complexes activate both aromatic and aliphatic C-H bonds and catalyze H/D exchange in alkylsilanes upon thermolysis in benzene-d[sub 6]. A mechanism based on oxidative-addition/reductive-elimination steps which utilizes a Ru(II)-Ru(IV) cycle is proposed to account for the C-H bond activation and H/D exchange reactions. It is further proposed that H/D exchange into sites adjacent to silicon in alkylsilanes is due to the intermediacy of an [eta][sup 2]-silene complex generated by [beta]-hydrogen elimination from the silyl group. 19 refs., 1 fig.
