Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed C-H Arylation of N,N-Dialkyl Thiobenzamides with Boronic Acids by Sulfur Coordination in 2-MeTHF.

We report ruthenium(II)-catalyzed ortho-C–H arylation of N,N-dialkylthiobenzamides with boronic acids. The method employs [RuCl2(p-cym)]2 in the presence of Cu(OTf)2 and Ag2O oxidant. The reaction ...
