Intramolecular dealkylation of chelating diamines with Ru(ii) complexes
Abstract
N,N, N′,N′-Tetraethylethylenediamine undergoes simple or double intramolecular dealkylation reactions in the presence of the complexes [RuCl2(diene)]n (diene = cod, nbd) or trans-[RuCl2(diene)(morfoline)2 at 80 °C to afford chelating
