Abstract
Recent progress in the Lewis acid catalysis of organic reactions by ruthenium complexes. The review focuses on reactions in which coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium species function as conventional Lewis acids, rather than those involving oxidation or reduction, such as in hydrogenations. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of asymmetric catalysts.

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
