title: Ruthenium-catalyzed hydroarylations of methylenecyclopropanes: mild C-H bond functionalizations with conservation of cyclopropane rings.
abstract: Ring conservation was observed in the first catalytic intermolecular hydroarylation of methylenecyclopropanes via C-H bond functionalization, a remarkable reactivity mode for a transformation proceeding through (cyclopropylcarbinyl)metal intermediates.
