Metal-catalyzed hydroarylation reactions are always powerful tools in organic synthesis
since they can form C–C or C-heteroatom bonds in an atom and step economic manner …

In spite of the prevalence of fused cyclobutane skeletons in natural products and
pharmaceuticals, synthetic strategies for their assembly from simple starting materials still …

An enol-assisted regioselective arene C–H alkylation with maleimides is developed under
redox-neutral ruthenium (II) catalysis, offering a wide variety of valuable 3-aryl succinimides …

Herein, we disclose an unprecedented and robust Ru (II)-catalyzed non-oxidative [5+ 1]
annulation of 2-hydroxystyrenes with allenyl acetates to access biologically relevant …

The mechanism of Ru-catalyzed cyclization of aromatic amides with allylphosphine oxides is
studied by density functional theory calculation (DFT). The results show that, first, a 5 …

Regioselective annulation of allenes via C–H activation represents an elegant synthetic
approach toward the construction of valuable scaffolds. Considering the importance of …

Herein, one-pot cascade synthesis of chromeno [4, 3-c] pyrazol-4-ones and their Ru (II)-
catalyzed regioselective ortho-alkenylation using imine as a weak directing group are done …

Presented herein is a concise synthesis of structurally diverse pyrazolo [1, 2-a] pyrazolones
based on condition-controlled divergent reactions of 1-arylpyrazolidinones with allenyl …

For decades, the synthesis of 2‐quinolones, a crucial structural motif in pharmaceuticals and
agrochemicals, has relied heavily on costly noble metal complexes and structurally complex …

Significance: Reported is a ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis of NH-free isoquinolinones 3 by a
[4+ 2] annulation of aromatic amides 1 with allenylphosphine oxides 2. The method permits …
