Abstract

The ruthenium complex (IMesH2)(Cl)2(C5H5N)2RuCHPh [IMesH2 = 1,3-dimesityl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene] (3) was prepared by the reaction of (IMesH2)(PCy3)(Cl)2RuCHPh (2) with an excess of pyridine. Complex 3 contains substitutionally labile pyridine and chloride ligands and serves as a versatile starting material for the synthesis of new ruthenium benzylidenes.
