Abstract

Treatment of [Ru2(CO)4(CH3CN)6](BF4)2 with 3-methyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-imidazolium bromide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide at room temperature in dichloromethane affords a RuII–N-heterocyclic carbene–carbonyl complex [Ru(py-NHC)(CO)2Br2] (1). Catalyst 1 displays diverse substrate scope for phosphine-free acceptorless coupling between alcohols and amines to amides at low catalyst loading. A RuII-dihydride/Ru0 sequence is proposed in the catalytic cycle.
