The cationic ruthenium allenylidene complexes[RuCl(=C=C=CR₂)(DPPQ)₂] [BPh₄] (3a:R=Ph; 3b:CR₂=FN=9H-fluoren-9-ylidene) supported by the heterobidentate P, N-donor ligand 8-(diphenylphosphanyl)quinoline (DPPQ) have been synthesized from the reactions of the dimeric complex[Ru(μ-Cl)(DPPQ)₂]₂[BPh₄]₂ (1) with excess 1, 1-diphenylprop-2-yn-1-ol (2a) or 9-ethynyl-9H-fluoren-9-ol (2b), respectively. Addition of hydrazines to the ruthenium-allenylidenes 3 led to the facile formation of ruthenium-bound acrylonitrile complexes[RuCl(N≡C-CH=CR₂)(DPPQ)₂] [BPh₄] (4a:R=Ph; 4b:CR₂=FN) at room temperature. This reaction involves the intermolecular nucleophilic attack of hydrazines at the C_α atom of the allenylidene ligand, which represents the first examples of addition of hydrazines to metal-allenylidenes affording acrylonitrile derivatives. Reaction of acrylonitrile complex 4 with an excess of propargyl alcohols 2a or 2b (4 equiv.) could release the organic acrylonitriles 3, 3-diphenylacrylonitrile (5a) or 2-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)-acetonitrile (5b) along with regeneration of allenylidene complex 3. In addition, the catalytic activity of 1 for the transformation of terminal propargyl alcohols and hydrazines into acrylonitriles has been investigated preliminarily. The results showed that the catalytic reaction did proceed to give the desired acrylonitrile products, albeit the yield not good. Nevertheless, our results of the catalytic reactions demonstrated that it is very promised to develop new catalytic reactions for the transformation of terminal propargylic alcohols and hydrazines into acrylonitriles via allenylidene intermediates.

  In the catalytic reactions, benzophenone or 9H-fluoren-9-one was also isolated as the byproducts (ca. 25%). We initially envisioned that the H₂O presented in the reaction solution, which released along with the Selegue's reaction during the formation of the allenylidene complex, might lead to the hydrolysis of the acrylonitrile product 5 to give the respective ketones. We have performed the control experiments by heating a solution of 3, 3-diphenylacrylo-nitrile (5a) in DCE with purposely added water at even 110℃ for several hours with or without 2.5 mol% of complex 1. However, the hydrolysis issue is unlikely. As reflected by the TLC of the reaction solution, only trace amount of benzophenone can be detected. On the other hand, it has been reported that γ-substituted tert-propargyl alcohols have been involved in Sonogashira-type reactions as masked terminal alkynes via β-carbon elimination with liberation of ketone (see Ref. [23]). We tentatively envisioned that the ketone byproducts obtained in the catalytic reaction might come from β-carbon elimination of terminal tert-propargyl alcohols.
