Abstract

A simple and efficient synthetic route to [RuCl <subscript>2</subscript> (NHC)(p-cymene)] and [Ru(CO <subscript>3</subscript> )(NHC)(p-cymene)] complexes making use of a weak base, under aerobic conditions, is reported. This method enables access to a series of NHC-ruthenium compounds with moderate to good yields under mild conditions. The Ru pre-catalysts were successfully used in olefin oxidation catalysis at low catalyst loading and reach complete conversion in short times.
