Ruthenium-catalyzed addition of carboxylic acids or cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to propargyl alcohols

Monomeric ruthenium(0) complexes containing redox-coupled dienone ligands were found to catalyze the regio-selective addition of carboxylic acids or cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to propargyl alcohols.
