In this review, we highlight the recent development in Ru(Ⅱ)-catalyzed C-H activations under redox neutral conditions. After a brief introduction of the C-H activations with oxidizing direct group by different transition metal catalysts, the examples with Ru(Ⅱ) catalyst were classified and introduced according to different internal oxidants used in the system. The features of each methodology will be highlighted and the plausible reaction mechanism will be presented if available.
- Ru (Ⅱ) catalysis,
- C-H activation,
- Redox neutral condition,
- Oxidizing directing group,
- Internal oxidant
