Stereoselective synthesis of Z-enol esters catalysed by [bis(diphenylphosphino)alkane]bis(2-methylpropenyl)ruthenium complexes

Abstract
Z-Enol esters are obtained via region- and stereo-selective addition of carboxylic acids to terminal alkynes, with formation of a C(1) carbon–oxygen bond, in the presence of a [Ru{Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2}{η3-CH2–C(Me)CH2}2] catalyst precursor.
