Abstract

The 16-electron, five-coordinate fluoro complex [RuF(dppp)2]PF6 (1a; dppp = propane-1,3-diylbis[diphenylphosphine] smoothly reacts with 1,3- diphenylallyl bromide (=1,1'-(3-bromoprop-1-ene-1,3-diyl)bis[benzne]) in dry CDCl3 to give 1,3-diphenylallyl fluoride and [RuBr(dppp)2]+ in nearly quantitative yield. Under similar conditions, bromide (or chloride)/fluoride exchange also occurs with chlorotriphenylmethane, bromodiphenylmethane, and tert-butyl bromide. The crystal structure of 1a is reported.
