New approaches to the catalytic activation of arenes and carbonyls

The activation of styrene towards nucleophilic addition and a Diels‒Alder reaction through η6-binding to ruthenium in [RuCp(η6-stryene)]PF6 has been achieved. Nucleophilic addition solely took place at the terminal carbon of the alkene, to give the anti-Markovnikov product. Good to excellent convers...
