Herein, we describe acridine-based SNS-Ru pincer-catalysed unprecedented dehydrogenative annulation of alcohols with 2'-aminoacetophenone to synthesize 2,3-disubstituted-4-quinolones. The developed protocol was utilized with a wide range of alcohols with various aminoacetophenones. To expand the synthetic utility, 4-quinolones with antibiotic properties were synthesized and various important post-synthetic modifications of the synthesized scaffolds were performed. Various control experiments were performed to understand the mechanism, which showed that -alkylation has the edge over -alkylation and referred to the possibility of alkenylation to branched ketones.

The oxalamide skeleton is a common structural motif in many biologically active molecules. These scaffolds can be synthesized ruthenium pincer complex-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of ethylene glycol and amines. In this study, we elucidate the mechanism of this oxalamide synthesis using density functional theory calculations.

Described herein is the synthesis of 2-pyrazolines via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of allylic alcohols with hydrazines based on a Ru(CO)/NHC-phosphine-phosphine ligand catalytic system. The reaction not only exhibits low catalyst loading (only 0.3 mol %), wide substrate scope, good to excellent yields, and high selectivity but also omits the use of sacrificial hydrogen acceptor with only H and HO as byproducts, making the reaction green and atom-economical.

Developing plastics that fill the need of polyolefins yet are more easily recyclable is a critical need to address the plastic waste crisis. However, most efforts in this vein have focused on high-density polyethylene (PE), while many different types of PE exist. To create broadly sustainable PE with modular properties, we present the synthesis, characterization, and demonstration of materials applications for chemically recyclable PE-like multiblock polymers prepared from distinct hard and soft blocks using ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenative polymerization.

Selective dehydrogenative C-H silylation is one of the most powerful tools to synthesize silacycles. Herein, we developed Ru-catalyzed sequential hydrosilylation/C-H silylation of allyl-indoles and dehydrogenative O-H/C-H silylation of pyrrole phenols. Both six-membered indole silacycles and pyrrole silyl ether cycles were successfully synthesized with good functional group tolerance.

A simple catalytic method for self-coupling of secondary alcohols leading to the synthesis of β-branched ketones under mild conditions is reported. Well-defined ruthenium pincer complex catalyzed the reactions. Optimization studies revealed that sodium -butoxide is an appropriate base for this transformation.
