title: Formation of acylruthenium promoted by coordination of AlMe(3) to (eta(4)-cyclopentadienone)Ru(CO)(3).
abstract: The reaction of AlMe(3) with (eta(4)-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone)Ru(CO)(3) leads to rapid and quantitative formation of an adduct arising from coordination of the enone oxygen to aluminium, which undergoes alkylation at the Ru(CO)(3) moiety to give (eta(5)-C(4)Ph(4)C(OAlMe(2)))Ru(CO)(2)(COMe) concomitant with a change of hapticity of the dienone ligand.
