    Arene‐Free Ruthenium(II/IV)‐Catalyzed Bifurcated Arylation for Oxidative C−H/C−H Functionalizations

    No full text
    Abstract Experimental and computational studies provide detailed insight into the selectivity‐ and reactivity‐controlling factors in bifurcated ruthenium‐catalyzed direct C−H arylations and dehydrogenative C−H/C−H functionalizations. Thorough investigations revealed the importance of arene‐ligand‐free complexes for the formation of biscyclometalated intermediates within a ruthenium(II/IV/II) mechanistic manifold.Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft https://doi.org/10.13039/50110000165

    Ruthenium(IV) Intermediates in C−H Activation/Annulation by Weak O ‐Coordination

    No full text
    Abstract Ruthenium(IV) complexes were identified as key intermediates of C−H/O−H activations by weak O ‐coordination. Thus, the annulations of sulfoxonium ylides by benzoic acids provided expedient access to diversely‐decorated isocoumarins with ample scope. Detailed experimental and computational studies provided strong support for a facile BIES‐C−H activation, along with cyclometalated ruthenium(IV) intermediates within a versatile ruthenium(II/IV) catalysis regime (BIES=base‐assisted internal electrophilic substitution).Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft https://doi.org/10.13039/501100001659Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung https://doi.org/10.13039/100005156China Sponsorship Council https://doi.org/10.13039/50110000286

    Metal-catalysed C–Het (F, O, S, N) and C–C bond arylation

    The formation of C–aryl bonds has been the focus of intensive research over the last decades for the construction of complex molecules from simple, readily available feedstocks.The formation of C–aryl bonds has been the focus of intensive research over the last decades for the construction of complex molecules from simple, readily available feedstocks. Traditionally, these strategies involve the coupling of organohalides (I, Br, Cl) with organometallic reagents (Mg, Zn, B, Si, Sn,…) such as Kumada–Corriu, Negishi, Suzuki–Miyaura, Hiyama and Sonogashira cross-couplings. More recently, alternative methods have provided access to these products by reactions with less reactive C–Het (F, O, S, N) and C–C bonds. Compared to traditional methods, the direct cleavage and arylation of these chemical bonds, the essential link in accessible feedstocks, has become increasingly important from the viewpoint of step-economy and functional-group compatibility. This comprehensive review aims to outline the development and advances of this topic, which was organized into (1) C–F bond arylation, (2) C–O bond arylation, (3) C–S bond arylation, (4) C–N bond arylation, and (5) C–C bond arylation. Substantial attention has been paid to the strategies and mechanistic investigations. We hope that this review can trigger chemists to discover more efficient methodologies to access arylation products by cleavage of these C–Het and C–C bonds.The formation of C–aryl bonds has been the focus of intensive research over the last decades for the construction of complex molecules from simple, readily available feedstocks.The formation of C–aryl bonds has been the focus of intensive research over the last decades for the construction of complex molecules from simple, readily available feedstocks.

    Rhodaelectro-catalyzed chemo-divergent C–H activations with alkylidenecyclopropanes for selective cyclopropylations

    No full text
    Herein, we report on selectivity control in C–H activations with alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) for the chemo-selective assembly of cyclopropanes or dienes. Thus, unprecedented rhodaelectro-catalyzed C–H activations were realized with diversely decorated ACPs with a wide substrate scope and electricity as the sole oxidant

    Remote C–H Functionalizations by Ruthenium Catalysis

    No full text
    Abstract Synthetic transformations of otherwise inert C–H bonds have emerged as a powerful tool for molecular modifications during the last decades, with broad applications towards pharmaceuticals, material sciences, and crop protection. Consistently, a key challenge in C–H activation chemistry is the full control of site-selectivity. In addition to substrate control through steric hindrance or kinetic acidity of C–H bonds, one important approach for the site-selective C–H transformation of arenes is the use of chelation-assistance through directing groups, therefore leading to proximity-induced ortho-C–H metalation. In contrast, more challenging remote C–H activations at the meta- or para-positions continue to be scarce. Within this review, we demonstrate the distinct character of ruthenium catalysis for remote C–H activations until March 2021, highlighting among others late-stage modifications of bio-relevant molecules. Moreover, we discuss important mechanistic insights by experiments and computation, illustrating the key importance of carboxylate-assisted C–H activation with ruthenium(II) complexes. 1 Introduction 2 Stoichiometric Remote C–H Functionalizations 3 meta-C–H Functionalizations 4 para-C–H Functionalizations 5 meta-/ortho-C–H Difunctionalizations 6 Conclusion

    Ruthenaelectro‐Catalyzed Domino Three‐Component Alkyne Annulation for Expedient Isoquinoline Assembly

    No full text
    The electrochemical three-component assembly of isoquinolines has been accomplished by ruthenaelectro-catalyzed C−H/N−H functionalization. The robustness of the electrocatalysis was reflected by an ample substrate scope, an efficient electrooxidation, and an operationally friendly procedure. The isolation of key intermediates and detailed mechanistic studies, including unprecedented cyclovoltammetric analysis of a seven-membered ruthenacycle, provided support for an unusual ruthenium(II/III/I) regime.</p

    Abstract C−H activations with challenging arylacetamides were accomplished by versatile ruthenium(II) biscarboxylate catalysis. The distal C−H functionalization offers ample scope—including twofold oxidative C−H functionalizations and alkyne hydroarylations—through facile base‐assisted internal electrophilic‐type substitution (BIES) C−H ruthenation by weak O ‐coordination
