Three ruthenium complexes bearing backbone-monosubstituted CAACs were prepared and displayed dramatic improvement in catalytic efficiency not only in RCM reaction but also in the ethenolysis of methyl oleate, compared to those bearing backbone-disubstituted CAACs.

Ruthenium-catalyzed Heck coupling of 3-arylidene-oxindoles with alkenes: a facile synthesis of 3-allylidene-2(3)-oxindoles.

A simple and efficient Ru(II)-catalyzed olefination of 3-(arylbenzylidene)indolin-2-ones with alkenes is described. This is an atom and step-economical strategy with a wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and suitability for gram scale synthesis. A plausible mechanism is also proposed for this synthetic transformation involving the formation of a 5-membered ruthenacycle and insertion of the alkene followed by β-hydride elimination to deliver the desired product.

The first ruthenium-catalyzed carboamination of olefins with α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides is reported. The utilization of an inexpensive ruthenium catalyst enables the concise synthesis of pharmaceutically important isoindolin-1-ones, which possess both a stereogenic center and β-carbonyl side chain. This method is mild, efficient, and scalable and allows for the coupling of a wide range of aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkenyl-, and alkyl-substituted sulfoxonium ylides.

Guangnanmycin A is a recently discovered congener of the well-known antitumor drug lead leinamycin; its macrolactam ring, however, is even more strained than that of the parent compound. The first synthetic foray towards this challenging target is reported, which relies on molybdenum-catalyzed macrocyclization by ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) followed by ruthenium-catalyzed redox isomerization of the propargyl alcohol thus formed; the resulting enone enabled the introduction of the yet missing exo-methylene group by a modified Peterson olefination. The signature disulfide moiety of guangnanmycin A was installed by strain-driven thia-Michael addition followed by conversion of the thioether thus formed into an unsymmetric disulfide with the aid of (methylthio)dimethylsulfonium tetrafluoroborate and MeSSMe.

A versatile and readily available chiral amide directing group has been developed for the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed asymmetric C-H activation. Asymmetric C-H activation of the related chiral benzamides with various olefins, aldehydes and propargylic alcohols has been accomplished with high stereoselectivities, affording a series of chiral products including 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins (up to 96 % ee), isocoumarins (up to 92 % ee), phthalides (up to 99 % ee), chiral bicyclo[2.2.

The C-C bond formation reactions are important in organic synthesis. Heck reaction is known to arylate the terminal carbon of olefins; however, direct alkylation of the terminal carbon of olefin is limited. Herein, we report a novel ruthenium-catalyzed selective cross-coupling reaction of styrene and α-diazoesters to form a new C-C bond over cyclopropanation via the C-H insertion process for the first time.
