Abstract
A novel ruthenium-catalyzed reductive coupling reaction of propargylic alcohols has been found to afford the corresponding 1,5-hexadiynes in good yields with high stereoselectivity. This catalytic reaction may proceed via hydroboration of the initially produced ruthenium−allenylidene intermediates with pinacolborane as a key step, disclosing a new reactivity of the allenylidene complexes.
