Ruthenium-mediated amidation of saturated C-H bonds and crystal structure of a bis(tosyl)amidoruthenium(III) complex of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane
Sm. Au et al., Ruthenium-mediated amidation of saturated C-H bonds and crystal structure of a bis(tosyl)amidoruthenium(III) complex of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 1998, pp. 2677-2678
A bis(tosyl)amidoruthenium(III) complex of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacycl
ononane (Me(3)tacn) is prepared, and its crystal structure revealed the two
tosylamido ligands in a cis configuration; the '[Ru-III(Me(3)tacn)(NHTs)(2
)(OH)] + Ag(I) or PhINTs' protocol can effect amidation of saturated C-H bo
nds, and an electrophilic tosylimidoruthenium intermediate is implicated ba
sed on Hammett correlation studies and trapping experiments.
