Cationic cyclopentadienyl Ru(ii) catalysts can efficiently promote mild intermolecular alkyne-alkene couplings in aqueous media, even in the presence of different biomolecular components, and in complex media like DMEM. The method can also be used for the derivatization of amino acids and peptides, therefore proposing a new way to label biomolecules with external tags. This C-C bond-forming reaction, based on simple alkene and alkyne reactants, can now be added to the toolbox of bioorthogonal reactions promoted by transition metal catalysts.

Selective dehydrogenative silylation is one of the most valuable tools for synthesizing organosilicon compounds. In this study, a regio- and stereoselective ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenative intermolecular silylation was firstly developed to access ()-alkenyl silyl-ether derivatives and silyl-ether heterocycles with good functional group tolerance. Furthermore, two pathways for RuH(CO)(PPh)/NBE-catalyzed dehydrogenative intermolecular silylation of alcohols and alkenes as well as intermolecular silylation of naphthol derivatives were investigated with HSiEt as the hydrosilane reagent.

The first total synthesis and structure validation of an arenimycin/SF2446 type II polyketide is described, as represented by construction of SF2446 B3, the aglycone shared by this family of type II polyketides. Ruthenium-catalyzed α-ketol-benzocyclobutenone [4 + 2] cycloaddition, which occurs via successive stereoablation-stereoregeneration, affects a double dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation wherein two racemic starting materials combine to form the congested angucycline bay region with control of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. This work represents the first application of transfer hydrogenative cycloaddition and enantioselective intermolecular metal-catalyzed C-C bond activation in target-oriented synthesis.

Ruthenium catalyzed C-H activation is well known for its high tolerance towards the functional group and broad applicability in organic synthesis and molecular sciences, with significant applications in pharmaceutical industries, material sciences, and polymer industry. In the last few decades, enormous progress has been observed with ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation chemistry. Notably, the vast majority of the C-H functionalization known in the literature are intermolecular, although the intramolecular variant provides fascinating new structural facet starting from the simple molecular scaffolds.

The direct dehydrogenation of alkanes is among the most efficient ways to access valuable alkene products. Although several catalysts have been designed to promote this transformation, they have unfortunately found limited applications in fine chemical synthesis. Here, we report a conceptually novel strategy for the catalytic, intermolecular dehydrogenation of alkanes using a ruthenium catalyst.
