β¦ Synopsis
Regioselective enol ester formation results frcm the addition of saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids to phenylacetylene in the presence of RuC13, RuClj/2PRj 01 R~C~~(PMe~)(arene~ catalysts. Mononuclear ruthenium complexes, such as RuC13 or RuClz(PR3)(arene), have been shown recently to be more efficient catalysts than Ru3(CO) 12 for the addition of ammonium carbamates to terrninal akynes in the synthesis of vinyl carbamates.'

Eliminations leading from enol sulfonates, enol phosphates, and enol phosphonium salts to alkynes are reviewed. Olefin eliminations are usually the rate-determining step in the formation of the triple bond. Enol esters may also play a role in the biosynthesis of alkynes.
Ruthenium-Catalyzed Dimerization of Terminal Alkynes Initiated by a Neutral Vinylidene Complex. -The catalytic coupling of alkynes (III) or (VI) in the presence of Ru complexes such as (I) or (II) leads to butenynes with both conversion and selectivity strongly depending on the alkyne substituent.
