The ruthenium catalyst derived from Ru3(CO)12 and triphos [Ph2P(CH2CH2PPh2) 2] promotes the direct C-C coupling of isoprene with aryl substituted hydantoins 1a-1f at the diene C4-position to furnish products of n-prenylation 2a-2f. A mechanism involving hydantoin dehydrogenation followed by diene-imine oxidative coupling to furnish a transient aza-ruthencyclopentene is proposed.
