    Abstract: Phenols can be employed as proelectrophiles in operationally simple ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrative direct arylations, proceeding through chemo- and regioselective functionalizations of C−H and C−OH bonds.

    Abstract: Highly regioselective ruthenium-catalyzed direct benzylations through C−H bond cleavages were accomplished under remarkably mild, nonacidic reaction conditions, for which experimental studies suggested a S_EAr-type mechanism not to be operative.

    Abstract: Direct functionalization of sp² C−H bonds via ortho diarylation of 2-pyridyl benzene with arylbromides was achieved using ruthenium(II) catalysts containing a RuCl₂(NHC) unit and generated from [RuCl₂(arene)]₂ and two types of NHC precursors, pyrimidinium ...
