Abstract
Versatile ruthenium(II) complexes allow for site-selective CH oxygenations with weakly-coordinating aldehydes. The challenging CH functionalizations proceed with high chemoselectivity by rate-determining CH metalation. The new method features an ample substrate scope, which sets the stage for the step-economical preparation of various bioactive heterocycles.
The weakest link: Challenging aryl CH oxygenations with very weakly coordinating aldehydes proceed chemoselectively in the presence of versatile ruthenium(II) catalysts under mild reaction conditions. This transformation features an ample substrate scope and excellent positional selectivity.

Gray, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, and approved October 13, 2015 (received for review August 25, 2015) http://www.pnas.org/content/112/47/14506.short A long-standing contradiction in the field of mononuclear Mo enzyme research is that small-molecule chemistry on active-site mimic compounds predicts ligand participation in the electron transfer reactions, but biochemical measurements only suggest metal-centered catalytic electron transfer.With the simultaneous measurement of substrate turnover and reversible electron transfer that is provided by Fourier-...
