Aminocyclopentadienyl ruthenium complexes, which can be used as room-temperature racemization catalysts with lipases in the dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of secondary alcohols, were synthesized from cyclopenta-2,4-dienimines, Ru3(CO)12, and CHCl 3: [2,3,4,5-Ph4(η5-C 4CNHR)]Ru-(CO)2Cl (4: R = i-Pr; 5: R = n-Pr; 6: R = t-Bu), [2,5-Me2-3,4-Ph2(η5-C 4CNHR)]Ru(CO)2Cl (7: R = i-Pr; 8: R = Ph), and [2,3,4,5-Ph4(η5-C4CNHAr)]Ru(CO) 2Cl (9: Ar =p-NO2C6H4; 10: Ar = p-ClC6H4; 11: Ar = Ph; 12: Ar = p-OMeC6H 4; 13: Ar = p-NMe2C6H4). The tests in the racemization of (S)-4-phenyl-2-butanol showed that 7 is the most active catalyst, although the difference decreased in the DKR. Complex 4 was used in the DKR of various alcohols; at room temperature, not only simple alcohols but also functionalized ones such as allylic alcohols, alkynyl alcohols, diols, hydroxyl esters, and chlorohydrins were successfully transformed to chiral acetates. In mechanistic studies for the catalytic racemization, ruthenium hydride 14 appeared to be a key species. It was the major organometallic species in the racemization of (S)-1-phenylethanol with 4 and potassium tert-butoxide. In a separate experiment, (S)-1-phenylethanol was racemized catalytically by 14 in the presence of acetophenone.

A number of tritolylarsonium and tris(methoxyphenyl)arsonium cyclopentadienylides and other ylides have been prepared and their properties (basicity, NMR spectra, reactions with aldehydes and nitrosobenzene, acetylation, and methanolysis) have been investigated.Substituents in the m- or p-positions of triarylarsonium groups have little effect on properties, but o-substituents result in markedly lower reactivity and lower basicity, and these ylides were also more difficult to prepare.NMR spectra gave indication of crowding in some of these o-substituted ylides.The effects of the o-substituents are discussed. p-Methyl- and p-methoxy-substituents increased the proportion of anil to ketoxime formed in reactions with nitrosobenzene, but the o-methoxy analogue gave only ketoxime.
