The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex catalyzes the dehydrative C-H coupling reaction of arylamines with 1,2-diols to form the indole products. The analogous coupling of arylamines with 1,3-diols afforded the substituted, quinolines. The catalytic method directly forms these coupling products in a highly regioselective manner without generating any toxic byprodficts.
