Application

Ru based complexes may be used in the synthesis of anticancer drugs. Ru complexes in conjunction with magnesium may be used in the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) and cyclization (ATRC) reactions.
Ru may be used as a catalyst in the following reactions;
  • oxidative coupling of indoles and pyrroles with several alkenes
  • arylations reactions.
