Enynes with a tethered carbonyl substituent are converted into substituted furan derivatives upon hydrogenation using [Cp*RuCl]4 as the catalyst. Paradoxically, this transformation can occur along two distinct pathways, each of which proceeds via discrete pianostool ruthenium carbenes. In the first case, hydrogenation and carbene formation are synchronized ("gem-hydrogenation"), whereas the second
使用[Cp * RuCl] 4作为催化剂,在氢化后,具有束缚的羰基取代基的烯炔被转化为取代的呋喃衍生物。矛盾的是,这种转变可能沿着两个不同的途径发生,每个途径都是通过离散的钢琴凳钌碳酸盐进行的。在第一种情况下,氢化和卡宾的形成是同步的(“宝石氢化”),而第二种途径包括通过三键的亲碳活化形成卡宾,然后进行氢化催化剂再循环。两种方法的代表性卡宾中间体均通过X射线晶体学表征;结构数据证明,羰基对亲电子卡宾中心的攻击遵循Bürgi-Dunitz轨迹。
