alcohols and 2-pyridylmethyl formate in the presence of Ru(3)(CO)(12) initiates a tandem sequence of hydroesterification and lactonization. Mechanistic studies suggest that regioselectivity and overall reaction efficiency are governed by the relative rates of reductive elimination and beta-hydride elimination for the alkylruthenium intermediates.
