Abstract Carbon–oxygen bonds in allylic phenyl carbonates are selectively cleaved by hydrido complexes of Co, Ru and Rh to give Co(OPh)L3, RuH(OPh)L2 and Rh(OPh)L3 with liberation of propylene and CO2. An intermediate complex RuH(O2COEt)L3 has been isolated in the reaction of RuH2(PPh3)4 with allyl ethyl carbonate. Reaction mechanisms are also discussed.
