| Abstract | Catalyst-controlled site selectivity in C-H functionalization reactions is a long-standing challenge. In this issue of Chem, Larrosa and co-workers employ a cyclometalated ruthenium catalyst (RuBnN) to reverse the conventional meta-selectivity to the unprecedented ortho-selectivity in the C(sp2)-H alkylation of arenes with secondary alkyl halides. |
