Abstract
Novel cyclopentadienylruthenium enolate complexes, Ru+Cp(NCCRCO2Et) (-) (PP h3)(2) (1) and Ru+Cp*(NCCRCO2Et) (-) (PPh3)(2) (2) have been prepared by th e reactions of RuClCp(PPh3)(2) and RuClCp*(PPh3)(2) with the corresponding sodium 1-cyano-1-ethoxycarbonylmethanides. The enolate complexes 1 and 2 ar e highly efficient catalysts for aldol and Michael reactions of nitriles.
