Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient catalytic addition of aromatic carbon-hydrogen bonds to olefins
Shinji Murai,Fumitoshi Kakiuchi,S. Sekine,Yasuo Tanaka,Asayuki Kamatani,Motohiro Sonoda,Naoto Chatani +6 more
TL;DR: The selective cleavage of carbon-hydrogen bonds in organic compounds is a critical step in many organic syntheses, and is particularly important in the conversion of hydrocarbons to useful organic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic C−H/Olefin Coupling
Fumitoshi Kakiuchi,Shinji Murai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the cleavage and addition of ortho C−H bonds in various aromatic compounds such as ketones, esters, imines, imidates, nitrile, and aldehydes to olefins and acetlylenes can be achieved with the aid of ruthenium catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Ruthenium-Catalyzed Reaction of Aromatic Ketones with Arylboronates: A New Method for the Arylation of Aromatic Compounds via C−H Bond Cleavage
TL;DR: The ruthenium-catalyzed reaction of aromatic ketones with arylboronic acid esters (arylboronates) gave the ortho arylation product and a RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 complex exhibited the highest catalytic activity among the complexes screened.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic Addition of Aromatic Carbon–Hydrogen Bonds to Olefins with the Aid of Ruthenium Complexes
Fumitoshi Kakiuchi,S. Sekine,Yasuo Tanaka,Asayuki Kamatani,Motohiro Sonoda,Naoto Chatani,Shinji Murai +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of the coordination of the oxygen atom of the ketone to ruthenium and the intervention of a cyclometallation intermediate are suggested. But the results of the deuterium labeling experiment using acetophenone-d5 and triethoxyvinylsilane are limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ru3(CO)12-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction of sp3 C−H Bonds Adjacent to a Nitrogen Atom in Alkylamines with Alkenes
Naoto Chatani,Taku Asaumi,Shuhei Yorimitsu,Tsutomu Ikeda,and Fumitoshi Kakiuchi,Shinji Murai +5 more
TL;DR: Catalytic reactions which involve the cleavage of an sp(3) C-H bond adjacent to a nitrogen atom in N-2-pyridynyl alkylamines are described and the substitution of an electron-withdrawing group on the pyridine ring as well as a substitution adjacent to the sp(2) nitrogen in the pyrsidine ring dramatically retards the reaction.
