Abstract
The catalytic activation of pro-2-ynylic ethers HCCCR 2OMe towards carboxylic acids is controlled to regioselectively afford the functional enol esters R 1CO 2C(CH 2)CR 2OMe or R 1CO 2CHCHCR 2OMe corresponding to the addition of the carboxylate to either C(2) or C(1) of the terminal triple bond, depending on the nature of the ruthenium catalyst precursor RuCl 2(PPh 3)( p-cymene) or Ru( η 3-2-methylpropenyl) 2(dppe), respectively.
