Dalton communications. Desulfurization of thiophenes with ruthenium clusters

Abstract

The cluster [Ru3(CO)12] reacts with 2-methylthiophene in refluxing tetrahydrofuran to give products of oxidative addition by C–H cleavage, [Ru3(µ-H)(µ-C4H2MeS)(CO)10](exo and endo), as well as two compounds derived by S–C bond cleavage, [Ru2(µ-C4H3Me)(CO)6] and [Ru43-S)(µ-C4H3Me)(CO)11](X-ray structure determined), this being the first example of the fragmentation of a thiophene to leave both the inorganic and the organic fragments, S and C4H3Me, co-ordinated in the same organometallic compound.
