Ruthenium catalysed synthesis of unsaturated acetals and aldehydes via C–C bond coupling of alkynes with allyl alcohol

Abstract
Terminal alkynes and allyl alcohol are coupled, with carbon–carbon bond formation, in the presence of a RuIV(C5Me5) catalyst, to give γδ-unsaturated acetals and with [{RuCl(C5Me5)}4] or [RuCl(cod)(C5Me5)] preferentially to produce the branched γ,δ-unsaturated aldehydes.
