β-C(sp)-H functionalization on the 'privileged' piperazine nucleus has been disclosed using ruthenium catalysis. The ruthenium catalyzed synthesis of a variety of piperazine fused indoles from ortho-piperazinyl (hetero)aryl aldehydes is presented. This transformation takes place via the dehydrogenation of piperazine followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the transient enamine moiety onto the carbonyl group and aromatization cascade.

Hypohalites are commonly generated in biological systems, mostly with functions related to defense and immune system response. These hypohalites can bind to metal centers and are known for their strong oxidizing properties that play crucial roles in various biological processes. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of novel biomimetic Ru(III)-hypochlorite complexes and focus the work on the electronic effects associated with the incorporation of methyl groups in a pentadentate ligand framework in an asymmetric fashion.

Electrocatalytic urea synthesis from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrate (NO3-) offers a promising alternative to traditional industrial methods. However, current catalysts face limitations in the supplies of CO* and Nrelated* intermediates, and their coupling, resulting in unsatisfactory urea production efficiency and energy consumption. To overcome these challenges, we carried out tandem electrosynthesis approach using ruthenium dioxide-supported palladium-gold alloys (Pd2Au1/RuO2).

During the recent development of machine-learning (ML) methods for organic synthesis, the value of "failed experiments" has increasingly been acknowledged. Accordingly, we have developed an exhaustive database comprising 300 entries of experimental data obtained by performing ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions using 10 ketones as substrates and 30 phosphine ligands. After evaluating the predictive performance of ML models using the constructed database, we conducted a virtual screening of commercially available phosphine ligands.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for C-H functionalization of heteroaryl compounds is introduced, which involves a process called dearomative addition followed by hydrogen autotransfer.
- This process starts with the hydroruthenation of dienes to create allylruthenium nucleophiles, leading to branched C-C coupling products through addition and β-hydride elimination.
- The study also details the formation of enantiomerically enriched heteroarylethyl alcohols and amines through oxidative cleavage and dynamic kinetic asymmetric reduction, supported by density functional theory calculations linking regioselectivities to molecular factors.

The prevalence of naphthalene compounds in biologically active natural products, organic ligands and approved drugs has motivated investigators to develop efficient strategies for their selective synthesis. C-H functionalization of naphthalene has been frequently deployed, but mainly involves two-component reactions, while multiple-component C-H functionalization for the synthesis of naphthalene compounds has thus far proven elusive. Herein, we disclose a versatile three-component protocol for the modular synthesis of multifunctional naphthalenes from readily available simple naphthalenes, olefins and alkyl bromides P(iii)-assisted ruthenium-catalyzed remote C-H functionalization.
