Chelate-Assisted Oxidative Coupling Reaction of Arylamides and Unactivated Alkenes: Mechanistic Evidence for Vinyl C-H Bond Activation Promoted by an Electrophilic Ruthenium-Hydride Catalyst
{{output}}
The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex [(η(6)-C(6)H(6))(PCy(3))(CO)RuH](+)BF(4) (-) was found to be a highly regioselective catalyst for the oxidative C-H coupling reaction of aryl-substituted amides and unactivated alkenes to give ortho-alkenylamide products... ...
