Abstract
Conversion of 4′-(2,5-dihydrophenyl)butanol or N-trifluoroacetyl-2,5-dihydrobenzylamine with MCl 3·n H 2O (M = Ru, Os) affords the corresponding dimeric η 6-arene complexes in good to excellent yields. Under similar reaction conditions, the amine functionalized arene precursor 2,5-dihydrobenzylamine yields the corresponding Ru(II) complex. For osmium, HCl induced oxidation leads to formation of [OsCl 6] 2− salts. However, under optimized reaction conditions, conversion of the precursor 2,5-dihydrobenzylamine chloride results in clean formation of η 6-arene Os(II) complex. X-ray structures of [( η 6-benzyl ammonium)(dmso)RuCl 2] and (2,5-dihydrobenzyl ammonium) 4[OsCl 6] 2confirm the spectroscopic data. High stability towards air and acid as well as enhanced solubility in water is observed for all η 6-arene complexes.
