Abstract
The catalyst-dependent intermolecular carbonyl-alkyne metathesis (CAM) reaction of 1H-indene-1,2,3-triones with internal alkynes was realized using Ru and Co catalysts. 2-(2-Oxo-1,2-diphenylethylidene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione derivatives were obtained using a Ru catalyst, whereas S-alkyl 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)-2-phenylethanethioates were prepared using a Co catalyst. These transformations led to the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with a broad substrate scope, excellent regiocontrol, and gram-scale amenability. This catalytic strategy using a Co or Ru catalyst has rarely been described for other established CAM catalysts.
