Abstract: | Reaction of a series of directly connected oxazoline-imidazolium salts with silver(I) oxide and subsequent transmetallation with Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 and anion exchange with KPF6 cleanly gave the corresponding 2-oxazolinyl-(N-mesityl)imidazolidene(chloro)ruthenium(II) half-sandwich complexes RuCl(oxcarb)(p-cymene)]PF6, two derivatives of which were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Abstraction of the chloro ligand furnished the dicationic aqua complexes Ru(H2O)(oxcarb)(p-cymene)](PF6)2 which possess a similar coordination geometry. The syntheses were found to be highly diastereoselective, since only one diastereoisomer could be observed in all ruthenium complexes upon reaction of the chiral enantiopure oxazoline-imidazolium salts. Their potential as transfer hydrogenation and Lewis acid catalysts has been probed. |
