Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Homocoupling of α-Carbonyl Sulfoxonium Ylides Under Mild Conditions: Methodology Development and Mechanistic DFT Study
A mild ruthenium(II)-catalyzed homocoupling of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides was developed and the detailed mechanism was understood based on DFT calculations in the current report. The catalytic system utilizes the α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylide as both the directing group for ortho-sp2 C-H activatio...
