Abstract
Recent developments in ruthenium-catalyzed chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective C-C bond forming reactions as well as a C-C bond cleaving reaction via an η3-allylruthenium intermediate are disclosed, in which novel ambiphilic reactivity of η3-allylruthenium complexes is discussed. In addition, a new route to cyclopentenones via ruthenium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of allylic carbonates with alkenes, which would be the complement of the catalytic intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction, is also presented.
Keywords: ruthenium catalysis, allylruthenium intermediates, chemoselective reactions, regioselective reactions, allylruthenium complexe, pauson-khand reaction

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
