(Cymene)ruthenium dichloride dimer is the organometallic compound with the formula [(cymene)RuCl2]2. This red-coloured, diamagnetic solid is a reagent in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. The complex is structurally similar to (benzene)ruthenium dichloride dimer.

Preparation and reactions

[edit]

The dimer is prepared by the reaction of the phellandrene with hydrated ruthenium trichloride.[1] At high temperatures, [(cymene)RuCl2]2 exchanges with other arenes:

[(cymene)RuCl2]2 + 2 C6Me6 → [(C6Me6)RuCl2]2 + 2 cymene

(Cymene)ruthenium dichloride dimer reacts with Lewis bases to give monometallic adducts:

[(cymene)RuCl2]2 + 2 PPh3 → 2 (cymene)RuCl2(PPh3)

Such monomers adopt pseudo-octahedral piano-stool structures.

Precursor to catalysts

[edit]

Treatment of [(cymene)RuCl2]2 with the chelating ligand TsDPENH gives (cymene)Ru(TsDPEN-H), a catalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.[2]

[(cymene)RuCl2]2 is also used to prepare catalysts (by monomerization with dppf) used in borrowing hydrogen catalysis,[3] a catalytic reaction that is based on the activation of alcohols towards nucleophilic attack.

It can also used to prepare other ruthenium—arene complexes.[4]
