The synthesis of different Schiff’s bases has been described in order to use them as ligand for the subsequent cyclometallation reaction. The cyclometallation reaction has been described starting with a half sandwich ruthenium complex, [RuCl2(p-cymene)2]2, and different benzylimines via ortho – CH activation. The reaction takes place at room temperature in methanol and in a short period of time (4 hours), using 2 equivalents of potassium acetate as deprotonation agent.
This cyclometallation reaction leads the endo cyclometallated ruthenium product. The resultant N – Ru – C metallocycle compound is formed by a five-member ring containing the C = N bond.
The molecular structures of each compound have been characterised by different spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR and Mass) showing that the obtained product is in agreement with the proposed structures.
