Facile routes to Ru(eta(3)-Allyl)(NO)(PPh3)(2) complexes via hydrometallation of RuH(NO)(PPh3)(3) to 1,3-butadienes and allenes
Hydrometallation of RuH(NO)(PPh3)(3) to 1,3-butadienes and allenes proceeded regio- and stereoselectively to give eta(3)-allyl ruthenium complexes as a sole complex in good yields. The structure of the complex was unambiguously determined by X-ray analysis.
