Heating tert-butyl-tetraline with [(p-cymene)RuCl₂]₂ produces the racemic complex [(arene)RuCl₂]₂, which can be separated into enantiomers by chromatography of its diastereomeric adducts with chiral phosphine ligand. The resolved chiral complex catalyzes C–H activation of N-methoxy-benzamides and their annulation with N-vinyl-pivaloyl amide giving dihydroisoquinolones in 50–80% yields and with 40–80% enantiomeric excess.

平面手性芳烃钌配合物：合成、对映异构体的分离以及催化C-H活化的应用

叔丁基四氢萘与[( p-伞花烃)RuCl ₂ ] ₂加热生成外消旋络合物[(芳烃)RuCl ₂ ] ₂，可通过其与手性膦配体的非对映加合物的色谱法将其分离成对映体。解析的手性配合物催化N-甲氧基-苯甲酰胺的 C-H 活化，并与N-乙烯基-新戊酰酰胺成环，生成二氢异喹诺酮，产率为 50-80%，对映体过量为 40-80%。
