The formation of complex 2 involves the cleavage of the N−H bond and 2-position C−H bonds of pyrrole as well as a C−C bond forming step between pyrrole and the acetonitrile ligand of 1. Mechanistic studies indicate that the most likely reaction pathway involves initial metal-mediated N−H activation of pyrrole to produce TpRu(CO)(N-pyrrolyl)(NCMe) (3) followed by C−C bond formation and proton transfer. Complex 3 has been independently prepared and demonstrated to convert to 2. Computational studies support the suggested selectivity for initial N−H bond cleavage in preference to C−H bond activation.}, number={21}, journal={ORGANOMETALLICS}, author={Pittard, KA and Cundari, TR and Gunnoe, TB and Day, CS and Petersen, JL}, year={2005}, month={Oct}, pages={5015–5024} }
