title: Ruthenium complex-catalyzed direct ortho arylation and alkenylation of 2-arylpyridines with organic halides.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The ortho position of the aromatic ring of pyridyl group-substituted aromatic compounds is directly arylated or alkenylated with organic halides in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ruthenium(II)-phosphine complex.
