An Efficient Direct Synthesis of beta-Ferrocenylketones Catalyzed by Ruthenium

摘要

Transition metal-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reaciton has been widely used as a used as a fundamental synthetic tool in orgnaic synthesis.Durign the course of our ongoing studies on ruthenium-catalyzed organic syntheses and transformations,we recently found an unusual type of ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of ketones by primary alcoholsj accompanied by C-C coupling.
