Ruthenium-Catalyzed <i>Ortho</i>-Alkenylation of Aromatic Ketones with Alkenes by C–H Bond Activation

Abstract

A ruthenium-catalyzed chelation-assisted C-H bond activation of aromatic ketones and the reaction with olefins to provide Heck-type products in good to excellent yields with a high regio- and stereoselective manner is described.
