A cationic ruthenium(II)-complex was utilized in the efficient synthesis of phthalimide derivatives by C- H activation with synthetically useful amides. The reaction proceeded through a mechanistically unique insertion of a cycloruthenated species into a C- Het multiple bond of isocyanate. The novel method also proved applicable for the synthesis of heteroaromatic unsymmetric diamides as well as a potent COX-2 enzyme inhibitor. A convenient route to phthalimide: A convergent method for the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed imidation of easily accessible benzamides by C- H functionalization was developed (see scheme). The methodology was successfully applied to the preparation of synthetically challenging unsymmetrical heteroaromatic diamides and proved amenable to a step-economic synthesis of a potent COX-2 enzyme inhibitor.

LTMP (5 equiv) metalates randomly veratric acid (1). Under external quench conditions, the thermodynamically more stable lithium 2-lithio-3,4-dimethoxybenzoate (2) reacts with a variety of electrophiles to give versatile building units that are not easily accessible by conventional means. Under in situ quench conditions (LTMP/TMSCl), a reversal of regioselectivity is observed and 6-trimethylsilyl-3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid (10) is formed predominantly.
