Abstract

A simple and expeditious microwave-assisted procedure for the synthesis of a variety of Shvo-type ruthenium complexes has been developed by reacting Ru3(CO)12 with variously functionalized tetraarylcyclopentadienones under microwave irradiation in MeOH. Ligand precursors have also been prepared under microwave heating by a bis-aldol condensation of 1,3-diphenylacetone with variously functionalized aromatic diketones. All the reactions were very fast and clean, leading to good yields and purities.
