Ruthenium(II)-catalysed remote C–H alkylations as a versatile platform to meta-decorated arenes
Whileortho-selective C-H activation is well explored, general meta-selective methods are rare and often require directing groups that are retained in the final products. Here the authors show that transient imine groups can be used to direct the meta-functionalization of a range of arenes.
