under the optimized reaction conditions (Scheme 5). In the
reaction, ortho alkenylated benzamide 15 and ortho alkylated
benzamide 16 were observed in combined 57% yields in a 1:1
ratio. But, in the presence of AcOH (3.0 equiv) under similar
reaction conditions, the same reaction provided a major amount
of ortho alkylated benzamide 16 along with a minor amount of 15
in 69% yield in a 10:1 ratio. Similarly, the reaction of N-
substituted benzamide 1a with 2a was tried in the presence of 3.0
equiv of AcOH under the optimized reaction conditions. In the
reaction, cyclization product 3aa and ortho alkylated benzamide

increases the electrophilicity of carbonyl group in intermediate 7
via protonation. It is likely that intermediate 19 could be formed.
Thus, instead of β-hydride elimination, enoloization takes place

A possible reaction
mechanism involving a five-membered ruthenacycle intermediate
was proposed and strongly supported by experimental evidence.
