Abstract
Dimeric [RuHClL2]2 (L = PPr3i), a source of the 14-electron fragment RuHClL2, reacts at reflux in THF to cleanly form equimolar L2HClRuC(CH2)3O and RuHCl(H2)L2, the products of stoichiometric geminal dehydrogenation of the α-C of THF. The same products are produced slowly at 25 °C by reaction of the transient RuHClL2. Double dehydrogenation of the sp3 α-C of THF is also effected at 25 °C by Os(H)3ClL2 if two H ligands are removed with But(H)CCH2.
