In general, palladium (II) based catalysts have been well known for C-H activation reactions. However, the use of expensive and not readily accessible palladium (Pd) catalysts often complicates the process of application of these catalysts.<br/><br/>Although ruthenium (0) complexes are air and water sensitive, several ruthenium (II) and (III) complexes are air stable and have shown to have better tolerance to variety of oxidants and work in various media including greener solvent including water. New results of use of novel cationic salts of ruthenium dichloro p-cymene dimer for C-H activated C-C coupling reactions will be presented. The examples will include their use in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
