of the η4-butadiene amido complexes proceeds via a
metallacylopentatriene and an allyl carbene species as
depicted in Scheme 2. Thus, there is migration of the
κ1(P)-coordinated PPh2NHPh ligand analogously to the
η3-allyl carbene complex already described.2c In contrast,
however, instead of a C-H bond activation step involv-
ing the phenyl substituents of the PPh2NHPh ligand,
there is facile N-H activation of the NHPh moiety. In
this way novel RuCp η4-butadiene amido complexes are
afforded. This is also noteworthy in view of the com-
paratively strained four-membered Ru-N-P-C ring
system formed, in contrast to a five-membered Ru-C-
C-P-C ring system in the case of C-H bond activa-

Gen er a l In for m a tion . All manipulations were performed
under an inert atmosphere of argon by using Schlenk tech-
niques. All chemicals were standard reagent grade and used
without further purification. The solvents were purified ac-
cording to standard procedures.8 The deuterated solvents were
purchased from Aldrich and dried over 4 Å molecular sieves.
[RuCp(CH3CN)3]PF6 and PPh2NHPh have been prepared
according to the literature.9,10 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H} NMR
spectra were recorded on a Bruker AVANCE-250 spectrometer
and were referenced to SiMe4 and H3PO4 (85%), respectively.
1H and 13C{1H} NMR signal assignments were confirmed by
1H-COSY, 135-DEPT, and HSQC(1H-13C) experiments.
[Ru Cp (P P h 2NHP h )(CH3CN)2]P F 6 (1). To a solution of
[RuCp(CH3CN)3]PF6 (300 mg, 0.691 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL)
was added PPh2NHPh (211 mg, 0.760 mmol), and the mixture
was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. After removal of the
solvent, a yellow powder was obtained, which was collected
on a glass frit, washed with Et2O (3 × 10 mL), and dried under
vacuum. Yield: 426 mg (92%). Anal. Calcd for C27H27F6N3P2-

added 2.5 equiv of HCtCPh (65.5 µL, 0.598 mmol), and the

of the solvent under reduced pressure, a dark red solid was
obtained, which was washed with Et2O (5 mL) and dried under

tography (neutral Al2O3/CH3CN). The red band was collected.
