  • Synthetic Methodology

Background:

  • Directed C-H functionalization is a powerful strategy in organic synthesis.
  • Ruthenium catalysts have shown promise in mediating challenging C-H bond activations.
  • Aromatic compounds with directing groups offer unique reactivity patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a catalytic method for the cleavage and addition of ortho C-H bonds in aromatic compounds.
  • To explore the utility of ruthenium catalysts in this transformation.
  • To investigate the scope and limitations of the reaction with various aromatic substrates and unsaturated partners.

Main Methods:

  • Catalytic reactions employing ruthenium complexes.
  • Use of directing groups (e.g., carbonyl, imino) on aromatic substrates.
