title: Intramolecular cyclization of a diruthenium complex: insight into the mechanism of heteroatom-directed intramolecular C-H/olefin coupling reactions.
abstract: Complex 2, synthesized by the reaction of {(C5H4N)(μ2-η(5):η(1)-C9H5)}Ru3(CO)9 (1) with 1,5-hexadiene, could further transform to another diruthenium complex 3via intramolecular carbometalation. The results are relevant to the mechanism of transition-metal catalyzed heteroatom-directed intramolecular C-H/olefin coupling reactions.
