Double C(arom)-H activation associated with etheral oxygen insertion to phenazine architecture in oxidisable ruthenium(III) complexes: a mechanistic insight.
Three examples of unusual double aromatic CH bond activation associated with insertion of etheral oxygen atom to phenazine architecture in Ru(III) complexes are reported. The chemical transformations have led to the formation of new Ru(IV) complexes with angular pentacyclo heterocyclic ligands. A mechanistic investigation indicates that the overall process is a combination of successive steps involving air (O2 ) and H2 O.
