Abstract

The Grubb's catalyst Cl2 (PR3) 2Ru CHPh (1) is an excellent precursor for the dimerisation of terminal alkynes. Thermal treatment and addition of two equivalents of phenylacetylene to complex 1 generates a new Ru–vinylidene (3). Complex 3 catalyses a selective product formation for trans-tail-to-tail enynes. Addition of acetic acid enhances the yield and the reaction rate dramatically and a reversed stereoselectivity for the formation of Z-isomers is ...
