This paper describes the successful preparation of new Ru(IV)-π-allyl complexes having the general formula (C5R5)RuX2(η3-allyl) (R = H, Me; X = Cl, Br) by the oxidative addition of allylic halides to Ru(II) complexes, (C5R5)Ru(L)2X (R = H, Me; L = CO, PPh3; X = Br, Cl). These new compounds were subjected to NMR analysis to determine the structure, which was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of a representative compound. During the course of this study, the authors found facile reductive elimination of allylic halides from the Ru(IV)-π-allyl complexes to form Ru(II)-carbonyl or Ru(II)-arene complexes, induced by contact with CO or aromatic solvents, respectively.
Preparation of novel ruthenium(IV) complexes (η5-C5(CH3)5)Ru(η 3-allyl)X2 and (η5-C5H5)Ru(η3-allyl)X 2 by oxidative addition of allylic halides to ruthenium(II) precursors

Oxidative addition of allylic halides to ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes Cp′Ru(CO)2X and CpRu-(CO)2X [Cp′ = η5-C5(CH3)5; Cp = η5-C5H5; X = Br, Cl] resulted in the formation of novel Ru(IV) complexes Cp′Ru(η3-allyl)X2 and CpRu(η3-allyl)X2. Reaction of the resulting ruthenium(IV) allyl complexes with CO did not lead to incorporation of CO into the allylic moiety but gave rise to reductive elimination of the allylic halides from the Ru(IV) metal center to afford the ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes Cp′- and CpRu(CO)2X.
