The solvent‐ and ligand‐free [2+2+2] ruthenium‐promoted cycloaddition of α,ω‐diynes and alkynes provides a facile and efficient strategy for the synthesis of substituted benzene‐derived systems. The search for the optimal reaction conditions revealed the unprecedented catalytic activity of ruthenium trichloride for benzannulation reactions and this atom‐economical process allowed the synthesis of fused

A rhodium-catalyzed silylative cyclization of alkynes and 1,6-diynes with hexamethyldisilane is described. These reactions enable the synthesis of densely substituted silole derivatives through the use of a rhodium(I)-norborna-2,5-diene complex as a catalyst.

anhydrides function as syntheticequivalents of alkynes in a rhodium(III)-catalyzed reaction with 1,6-diynes to achieve a formal [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization. This approach is useful for reactions involving alkynes with low boiling points or severe ring strain. Hard-to-access [2+2+2] cycloadducts are available through this new cycloaddition strategy by employing easy-to-handle alkyne equivalents.
A novel oxygen-atom-transfer process enables the catalytic [2 + 2 + 1] synthesis of bicyclic furans from alpha,omega-diynes with DMSO. [CpRu(AN)(3)]PF6 catalyzed the transfer oxygenative cyclization of diynes with aryl terminal groups, while those of diynes with alkyl terminal groups were effectively promoted by the corresponding Cp* complex. A mechanism for bicyclic furan formation via a ruthenacyclopentatriene was proposed on the basis of both experimental and theoretical studies.
Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer-Hydrogenative Cyclization of 1,6-Diynes with Hantzsch 1,4-Dihydropyridine as a H<sub>2</sub>Surrogate
AbstractThe transfer‐hydrogenative cyclization of 1,6‐diynes with Hantzsch 1,4‐dihydropyridine as a H2 surrogate was performed in the presence of a cationic ruthenium catalyst of the type [Cp′Ru(MeCN)3PF6]. Exocyclic 1,3‐dienes or their 1,4‐hydrogenation products, cycloalkenes, were selectively obtained, depending on the substrate structure and the reaction conditions.
