Abstract

We report here our full results concerning the possibility of generating in situ from a stable and readily available ruthenium (II) source a highly active ruthenium catalyst for C− H bond activation. The versatility of this catalytic system has been demonstrated, as it offers the possibility of modifying the electronic and steric properties of the catalyst by fine-tuning of the ligands, allowing functionalization of various substrates. Aromatic ketones and imines ...
