The ruthenium- and rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H/olefin coupling reactions of 1-(2-pyridyl)-1,5- and 1,6-dienes proceeded regio- and stereoselecively to give 5- or 6-membered ring products.
Ruthenium- and rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular C–H/olefin coupling reactions of 1-(2-pyridyl)-, 1-(2-imidazolyl)-, and 1-(2-oxazolyl)-1,5-dienes proceeded in a regiospecific manner to give 5-membe...
