Ruthenium-catalyzed regioselective oxidative coupling of aromatic and heteroaromatic esters with alkenes under an open atmosphere.
A ruthenium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of substituted aromatic and heteroaromatic esters with alkenes in the presence of catalytic amounts of AgSbF(6) and Cu(OAc)(2) to provide highly substituted alkene derivatives in good to excellent yields under an open atmosphere is described.
