The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex [(η(6)-C(6)H(6))(PCy(3))(CO)RuH](+)BF(4) (-) was found to be a highly regioselective catalyst for the oxidative C-H coupling reaction of aryl-substituted amides and unactivated alkenes to give ortho-alkenylamide products. The kinetic and spectroscopic analyses support a mechanism involving a rapid vinyl C-H activation followed by a rate-limiting C-C bond formation steps. ...[more]
