Mild Decarboxylative C−H Alkylation: Computational Insights for Solvent-Robust Ruthenium(II) Domino Manifold

Abstract

Computational studies on decarboxylative C−H alkenylations provided key insights into the solvent-robust nature of C−H activation/decarboxylation domino reactions. These properties were exploited for ruthenium(II)-catalyzed C−H alkylations by a decarboxylative process with ample scope under copper-free and silver-free reaction conditions.
