Treatment of RuCP[OC6H4(CH2CH=CH 2)-κ1O: η2C,C′](PPh 3) (3c) with a Bronsted acid (HX) such as 2-al-lylphenol results in facile migration of a benzylic proton to the aryloxide, giving the (η3-allyl)ruthenium(II) complex RuCp[CH2-CHCH(C 6H4OH-2)-η3 C,C′,C″](PPh 3) (Ac). Thermodynamic and kinetic studies suggest that 3c associates with acid to give 3c · HX, and further addition of HX to 3c · HX causes the C-H bond cleavage reaction to give 4c.
