[reaction: see text]. The cationic ruthenium complex [(PCy3)2(CO)(Cl)Ru=CHCH=C(CH3)2]+BF4- was found to be an effective catalyst for the coupling reaction of aniline and ethylene to form a approximately 1:1 ratio of N-ethylaniline and 2-methylquinoline products. The analogous reaction with 1,3-dienes resulted in the preferential formation of Markovnikov addition products. The normal isotope effect of k(NH)/k(ND) = 2.2 (aniline and aniline-d7 at 80 degrees C) and the Hammett rho = -0.43 (correlation of para-substituted p-X-C6H4NH2) suggest an N-H bond activation rate-limiting step for the catalytic reaction.
[反应:见正文]。发现阳离子钌配合物[(PCy3)2(CO)(Cl)Ru=CHCH=C(CH3)2]+BF4-是苯胺与乙烯偶联反应生成N-乙基苯胺和2-甲基喹啉产物比例约为1:1的有效催化剂。与1,3-二烯的类似反应导致马尔科夫尼科夫加成产物的优先形成。k(NH)/k(ND)=2.2(80℃下苯胺和苯胺-d7)的正常同位素效应以及哈米特ρ=-0.43(对位取代的p-X-C6H4NH2的相关性)表明催化反应的限速步骤为N-H键活化。
