title: Nitrogen-directed ortho-selective homocoupling of aromatic compounds catalyzed by ruthenium complexes.
abstract: A nitrogen-directed regioselective homocoupling reaction of aromatic compounds has been found to be catalyzed by a ruthenium complex in the presence of methallyl acetate as a hydrogen scavenger.
