Abstract

Thermolysis of Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2 with the N-heterocyclic carbene bis(1,3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) (IMes) results in C-C activation of an Ar-CH3 bond in one of the mesityl rings of the carbene ligand. Upon addn. of IMes to Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2 at room temp. in the presence of an alkene, C-H bond activation is obsd. instead. The thermodn. of these C-C and C-H cleavage reactions have been probed using d. functional theory.
