Ru(III)-Catalyzed Cyclization of Arene-Alkene Substrates via Intramolecular Electrophilic Hydroarylation
摘要:
We herein report that RuCl3/AgOTf has proven to be a hydroarylation catalyst with an efficiency and scope superior to previously known methods. This catalyst demonstrated consistent performance with arene-ene substrates of diverse structural features, providing good to excellent yields of cyclization products (chromanes, tetralins, terpenoids, dihydrocoumarins).
