The cationic ruthenium hydride complex [(C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>6</sub>)(PCy<sub>3</sub>)(CO)RuH]<sup>+</sup>BF<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> has been found to be an effective catalyst for the oxidative C-H coupling reaction of phenols with aldehydes to give 2-acylphenol compounds. The coupling of phenols with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes selectively gives the flavene derivatives. The catalytic method mediates direct oxidative C-H coupling of phenol and aldehyde substrates without using any metal oxidants or ...[more]
