A family of ruthenium alkylidene complexes, (H 2 IMes)RuCl 2 ( CHR)(3-bromopyridine) 2, where R = Me, Et, n Pr, as well as the corresponding PCy 3 complexes, (H 2 IMes)RuCl 2 ( CHR)(PCy 3 ), have been prepared. The PCy 3 alkylidene complexes exhibit much higher stoichiometric reactivity than does the analogous benzylidene complex, reflecting faster dissociation of PCy 3 from the alkylidene complexes.
