Abstract
AbstractTransition metal π‐arene complexes enable the dearomatization of benzene rings to access diversified unsaturated carbocycles through multistep synthetic procedures involving sequential addition of nucleophiles and electrophiles. This work details a single‐step dearomatization process by reaction of Ru(η6‐arene) complexes with enolates derived from α‐halo or α‐(tosyloxy)esters to directly transform π‐coordinated arenes to ring‐expanded cycloheptatrienes.
