Abstract

A bis(tosyl)amidoruthenium(III) complex of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me3tacn) is prepared, and its crystal structure revealed the two tosylamido ligands in a cis configuration; the '[Ru(III)(Me3tacn)(NHTs)2(OH)] + Ag(I) or PhINTs' protocol can effect amidation of saturated C-H bonds, and an electrophilic tosylimidoruthenium intermediate is implicated based on Hammett correlation studies and trapping experiments.
