Graphical Abstract

One way or the other: Experimental and computational studies provide insight into the selectivity-controlling factors in ruthenium-catalyzed C−H arylation and oxidative C−H/C−H functionalization.

Abstract

Experimental and computational studies provide detailed insight into the selectivity- and reactivity-controlling factors in bifurcated ruthenium-catalyzed direct C−H arylations and dehydrogenative C−H/C−H functionalizations. Thorough investigations revealed the importance of arene-ligand-free complexes for the formation of biscyclometalated intermediates within a ruthenium(II/IV/II) mechanistic manifold.
