Ruthenium carbene 1 (Cl-2(PCy(3))(2)Ru=CHCH=CPh(2)) mediates the efficient and selective conversion of acyclic dienynes to fused bicyclic [n.m.O] rings containing five-, six-, and seven-membered rings. Studies with various X-substituted acetylenes (X=H, alkyls, Ph, CO(2)Me, SnBu(3), TMS, Cl, Pr, I) suggest that the dienyne metathesis is sensitive not only to these substituents but also to the catalysts employed. Among the various metal alkylidenes examined, only the ruthenium catalyst 1 exhibited metathesis activity for a range of substrates. These observations further expand the scope of catalytic RCM for the construction of complex organic compounds.
