- Abstract
The carbonyl-directed C3H activation and alkylation of 2-aroylbenzo[ b]furans with acrylates occurs selectively either in a linear or branched fashion, depending on the catalyst employed; [Ru( p-cymene)Cl2]2 or Ru(PPh3)3Cl2, respectively. Two alternate pathways-funded upon the differences in steric and electronic preferences of these two complexes-is proposed for the selectivity of linear versus branched products.
