Abstract
A switchable ruthenium-catalyzed C–H alkylation/alkenylation of 2-(hetero)aryl-substituted 1-methylperimidines with acrylic esters was developed, utilizing the perimidine moiety as an N-donor directing group. Employing commercially available, air-stable [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 as the precatalyst affords the C–H functionalization products in high yields. The reaction selectivity is governed by the additive: Cu(OAc)2 promotes alkenylation, whereas AgTFA favors alkylation.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of General Chemistry is a journal that covers many problems that are of general interest to the whole community of chemists. The journal is the successor to Russia’s first chemical journal, Zhurnal Russkogo Khimicheskogo Obshchestva (Journal of the Russian Chemical Society ) founded in 1869 to cover all aspects of chemistry. Now the journal is focused on the interdisciplinary areas of chemistry (organometallics, organometalloids, organoinorganic complexes, mechanochemistry, nanochemistry, etc.), new achievements and long-term results in the field. The journal publishes reviews, current scientific papers, letters to the editor, and discussion papers.
