In this article, we have explored the C(sp2)–H alkenylation activity with novel spirocyclic N-heterocyclic carbene(NHC)-based cyclometalated ruthenium pincer catalyst system, SNRu-X. After screening catalyst and condition, a high valent Ru(Ⅳ) dioxide(X = O_(2)) species has demonstrated superior reactivity in the catalytic alkenylation of aromatic and olefinic C–H bonds with unactivated alkenyl bromides and triflates. This reaction has achieved the easy construction of a wide range of(hetero)aromatic alkenes and dienes, in good to excellent yields with exclusive selectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that this reaction may proceed through a single electron transfer(SET) triggered oxidative addition, by doing so, providing valuable complementary to classical alkenylation reactions that are dependent on activated alkenyl precursors.展开更多

This method is considerably useful over those reported by using strong coordination ligand or carbonic anion exchange,and would provide an alternative efficient template of organometallics synthesis. Experimental and density functional theory(DFT) calculation results indicate that the spirocyclic framework is a favourable factor for the facile formation and stabilization of these complexes.
