Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 92361-49-4, Name is Chloro(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)bis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II), Formula: C46H45ClP2Ru.
The diazoalkane complexes [Ru(eta5-C5Me5)(N2CAr1Ar2){P(OR)3}L]BPh4 (1-4) [R = Me, L = P(OMe)3 (1); R = Et, L = P(OEt)3 (2); R = Me, L = PPh3 (3); R = Et, L = PPh3 (4); Ar1 = Ar2 = Ph (a); Ar1 = Ph, Ar2 = p-tolyl (b); Ar1Ar2 = C12H8 (c); Ar1 = Ph, Ar2 = PhC(O) (d)] and [Ru(eta5-C5Me5){N2C(C12H8)}{PPh(OEt)2}(PPh3)]BPh4 (5c) were prepared by allowing chloro-compounds RuCl(eta5-C5Me5)[P(OR)3]L to react with the diazoalkane Ar1Ar2CN2 in the presence of NaBPh4. Treatment of complexes 1-4 with H2O afforded 1,2-diazene derivatives [Ru(eta5-C5Me5)(eta2-NH=NH){P(OR)3}L]BPh4 (6-9) and ketone Ar1Ar2CO. A reaction path involving nucleophilic attack by H2O on the coordinated diazoalkane is proposed and supported by density functional theory calculations. The complexes were characterized spectroscopically (IR and 1H, 31P, 13C, 15N NMR) and by X-ray crystal structure determination of [Ru(eta5-C5Me5)(N2CC12H8){P(OEt)3}2]BPh4 (2c) and [Ru(eta5-C5Me5)(eta2-NH=NH){P(OEt)3}2]BPh4 (7).
Balanced chemical reaction does not necessarily reveal either the individual elementary reactions by which a reaction occurs or its rate law.Formula: C46H45ClP2Ru. In my other articles, you can also check out more blogs about 92361-49-4
