Abstract

Two isomers of the N,O-coordinated acetylpyrrolyl complex [Ru(PPh ₃)₂(CO)(NC₄H₃C(O)CH₃)H] {cis-N,H (1) and trans-N,H (2)} have been prepared as models for catalytic intermediates in the Murai reaction. Complex 2 isomerises to 1 upon heating via a dissociative pathway (ΔH^‡ = 195 ± 41 kJ mol^-1; ΔS^‡ = 232 ± 62 J mol ^-1 K^-1); the mechanism of this process has been modeled using density functional calculations. Complex 2 displays moderate catalytic activity for the Murai coupling of 2′-methylacetophenone with trimethylvinylsilane, but 1 proved to be catalytically inactive under the same conditions.
