CoH(N 2 )(PPh 3 ) 3 promotes carbon–oxygen (CO) bond cleavage in allylic carboxylates to give the corresponding olefins at room temperature. On the other hand, RuH 2 (PPh 3 ) 4 and RhH(PPh 3 ) 4 are mainly active for CO bond cleavage at elevated temperature. Reaction proceeds through a mechanism involving predissociation of one of the tertiary phosphines from the RuH 2 (PPh 3 ) 4 and RhH(PPh 3 ) 4 and competitive coordination of allylic carboxylates and PPh 3 to the vacant site on ruthenium and rhodium. A new six‐membered metallocyclic complex, Co(OCOCH 2 COCH 3 )(PPh 3 ) 2 , has been isolated.
