One-step synthesis of alkenyl ketone complexes from Cp*RhCl2(PPh3), alkyne and H2O in the presence of KPF6.
The reaction of Cp*RhCl2(PPh3) 1 with 1-alkyne and H2O in the presence of KPF6 afforded the alkenyl ketone complex [Cp*Rh(PPh3)(CPh=CHCOCH2R)](PF6) [R = p-tolyl (3a), R = Ph (3b)], whereas Cp*IrCl2(PPh3) 2 or [(eta 6-C6Me6)RuCl2(PPh3) gave the corresponding [Cp*IrCl(CO)(PPh3)](PF6) 5a and [(eta 6-C6Me6)RuCl(CO)(PPh3)](PF6).
