An improved gram-scale synthesis of Bn 5 CpRu(CO) 2 Cl is reported based on heating of pentabenzylcyclopentadiene with Ru 3 (CO) 12  at 160 °C under argon atmosphere in mesitylene followed by addition of chloroform, continued heating, and evaporation of the solvents. Subsequent washing of unreacted ligand precursor with hexane provided pure title compound in 77 % yield. In combination with  Candida antarctica  lipase B (CAL-B) (Novozym 435), this complex forms a highly active racemization catalyst for metallo-enzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of secondary alcohols as demonstrated in the present work by converting 100 g of racemic 1-phenylethanol to ( R )-1-phenylethanol in &gt;99 % ee and 93 % overall yield over two steps using 0.05 mol % loading of the metal catalyst and 1 mass % loading of immobilized enzyme. In addition, the synthesis and crystallographic characterization of the palladium congener Bn 5 CpPd(PPh 3 )Cl are briefly discussed.
