Abstract

Thermal treatment of Ru-alkylidene (4) bearing a triazol-5-ylidene (NHC) ligand (2) at 110° C and addition of a terminal alkyne generates a ruthenium vinylidene. The thermolysed Ru- alkylidene catalyses the vinylation and dimerisation of 1-alkynes. The nucleophilic addition of acetic acid on terminal alkynes proceeds smoothly and regioselective towards the Markovnikov addition. The addition reaction can be tuned by changing the acidity of the ...
