摘要

A half-sandwich 1,2-azaborolyl (Ab) ruthenium complex, (Ab-C CPh)RuCl(PPh3)(2) (1), has been synthesized by treating RuCl2(PPh3)(3) with lithium 1,2-azaborolide L-1, or by treating either RuCl2(PPh3)(3) or RuHCl(PPh3)(3) directly with 1,2-azaborole LH-1. It is evaluated as a suitable precatalyst in [2 + 2] cycloadditions of norbornene derivatives with DMAD and in atom transfer radical additions of halogenated compounds with olefins.
