Summary
Abstract New RuCl2(benzimidazole)(arene) complexes have been prepared. Upon reaction with 1,1‐diphenylprop‐2‐ynol they generate catalyst precursors which perform the cycloisomerization of diallyltosylamide into 3‐methyl‐4‐methylene‐N‐tosylpyrrolidine. The presence of N‐(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzyl)benzimidazole as ligand leads to a subsequent isomerization and gives the 3,4‐dimethyl‐N‐tosylpyrroline. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
