Within the last decades C–H activation processes have evolved from a promising concept to a powerful class of reactions for the construction of organic molecules, especially pharmaceutically active compounds. Within this thesis, new and improved synthetic transformations based on C–H activation by ruthenium(II) catalysis, in combination with the use of renewable chemicals, were developed. Additionally, a catalyst system for the effective hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) on alkenes was explored.
