Abstract

Abstract : A (salen)ruthenium(vi ) nitrido complex reacts rapidly with primary amines leading to C–N bond cleavage owing to the formation of stable NN after the initial coupling of the amine N and the nitrido ligand. Abstract : We report the first example of oxidative cleavage of the strong C–N bonds of primary amines by a ruthenium(vi ) nitrido complex. The driving force for this very fast C–N cleavage reaction comes from the formation of stable NN after the initial coupling of the amine N and the nitrido ligand.
