Highly selective tail-to-tail dimerization of methyl methacrylate has been realized by an N-
heterocyclic carbene catalyst, giving dimethyl 2, 5-dimethyl-2-hexenedioate with an E/Z ratio …

Aspects of the chemistry of zero-valent ruthenium complexes having a cyclic diene ligand,
and their use for homo-and cross-dimerizations are reviewed. The naphthalene ligand in …

Catalytic cross-dimerization is one of the powerful synthetic methods to produce linear
molecules with high atom and step economy. Because this process involves a carbon …

By using a zerovalent, electron-rich ruthenium complex bearing a tetradentate phosphine
ligand, a five-membered ruthenalactone was generated by oxidative cyclization of ethylene …

The first tail-to-tail dimerization of methacrylonitrile (MAN) has been realized by the
cooperative use of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and Brønsted acid catalysts, producing 2 …

In the search for novel anticancer agents, the development of metal-based complexes that
could serve as alternatives to cisplatin and its derivatives has received considerable …
