Ruthenium-Catalyzed Monoalkenylation of Aromatic Ketones by Cleavage of Carbon-Heteroatom Bonds with Unconventional Chemoselectivity
Ruthenium-catalyzed selective monoalkenylation of ortho C-O or C-N bonds of aromatic ketones was achieved. The reaction allowed the direct comparison of the relative reactivities of the cleavage of different carbon-heteroatom bonds, thus suggesting an unc
