Formation of a coordinated 2-aminoethylidene ligand and its rearrangement by deprotonation into a phosphinoallyl ligand containing a pyrrolidin-2-yl ring
The activation of 1,1-diphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol by the metallic fragment [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Ru(dippae)](+) {dippae = 1,2-bis[(diisopropylphosphanyl)amino]ethane}, followed by dehydration, produces a cationic complex that, by deprotonation and rearrangement, leads to a neutral complex with a phosphinoallyl ligand containing a pyrrolidin2-yl ring.
