Ruthenium-catalyzed three-component tandem remote C–H functionalization of naphthalenes: modular and concise synthesis of multifunctional naphthalenes

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

P(iii)-assisted ruthenium-catalyzed remote C-H functionalization. This protocol not only tolerates various functional groups, but can be applied to many natural product and drug derivatives, and can involve a three-component reaction with two different bioactive molecules. Mechanism studies indicated that the utilization of tertiary phosphines as auxiliary groups is the key to achieving the three-component free-radical reaction.
