Abstract: A removable oxime-assisted meta-C-H nitration of arenes is reported. Mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations reveal a new monomeric octahedral ruthenium(II) complex is responsible for the meta-selective nitration. Dioxygen as a cooxidant is crucial for achieving… read more here.

Abstract: A novel ruthenium catalyst is introduced which contains solely achiral ligands and acquires its chirality entirely from octahedral centrochirality. The configurationally stable catalyst is demonstrated to catalyze the alkynylation of trifluoromethyl ketones with very high… read more here.
