Abstract

Irradiation of Cp^*Ru(CO)₂CH₃ (1) in C₆D₆ at room temperature yields Cp^*Ru(CO)₂C₆D₅ and CH₃D (where Cp^* = n⁵-C₅Me₅). Cp^*Ru(CO)₂CD₃ (2) has also been prepared and similar irradiation in C₆H₆ yields Cp^*Ru(CO)₂C₆H₅ (3) and CD₃H. This latter reaction confirms that it is the methyl group bonded to ruthenium that is involved in the C-H activation process and not the methyl groups on the Cp^* ligand system. The compound Cp^*Ru(CO)₂C₆H₅ (3) has been prepared for the first time in good yield by the reaction of Cp^*Ru(CO)₂Br with NaBPh₄. X-ray crystal structures of both Cp^*Ru(CO)₂CH₃ (1) and Cp^*Ru(CO)₂C₆H₅ (3) have been determined and the results are reported and discussed.
