Abstract
We report ruthenium(II)-catalyzed sequential C-H/N-H alkenylation cascade of phenanthroimidazole and alkenes to form novel phenanthroimidazoisoindol acrylates via dual C-H activation and aza-Michael reaction. The two nitrogen atoms of the imidazole ring act as directing groups for regioselective dual sequential ortho C-H activation. These polycyclic N-heterocycles were evaluated for their photophysical properties.

Abstract
Herein, the ruthenium-catalyzed regioselective sp2(C-H) monoalkenylation of N-arylpyridones has been demonstrated, where the pyridone was utilized as a weakly coordinating directing group. Importantly, the current methodology has been effectively applied to the synthesis of many drug analogues such as pirfenidone, naproxen, ibuprofen, geraniol, umbelliferone, pregnenolone, and estrone. This methodology tolerates a wide range of functional groups and yields up to 93% yield. A six-membered ruthenium complex was also detected by HRMS.
