[23] In compounds 5, 7, 8 xy, x refers to the starting material and y refers to
the olefin introduced.
[24] Further variations of the reaction conditions on 3e were screened, but
no significant impact was observed (see SI for more details).
[25] The reaction was investigated with substoichiometric amounts of
diamine. Using 50 mol% of diamine, only a 15% NMR yield of the
alkylated imine could be obtained.
[26] Other unsaturated substrates were tested, and showed little or no
reactivity. See SI for more details.

calculations at the M06/[SDD, 6-311++G(d,p)]//PBE0/[SDD, 6-

[30] This represents the major difference between the two calculated
mechanisms, with Ru(CO)2 and with Ru(CO)3 as metal fragments. In the
latter case, the assistance of the amine side arm in the formation of the
alkyl ligand and subsequent reductive elimination is not possible
because the corresponding coordination position is occupied by a CO.
