Ruthenium-Catalyzed Carbonylation of ortho C-H Bonds in Arylacetamides:C-H Bond Activation Utilizing a Bidentate-Chelation System. -The presence of a 2-pyridylmethylamine moiety (Pym) as a bidentate directing group is essential for successful carbonylation of the substrates to produce isoquinoline diones and related heterocyclic systems. Furthermore, ethylene and water as additives are required for an efficient reaction. -(SHIBATA, K.; HASEGAWA, N.; FUKUMOTO, Y.; CHATANI*, N.; ChemCatChem 4 (2012) 11, 1733-1736, http://dx.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
