报告摘要：

The main utility of Grubbs-type ruthenium alkylidenes deals with metathesis chemistry. These ruthenium complexes, however, have proven their potential as a precatalyst for many non-metathesis processes such as hydrogenation, dihydroxylation, cyclopropanation, and hydrovinylation, In light of expanding the scope of enyne metathesis, we streamlined enyne metathesis and metallotropic [1,3]-shift such that various enyne-based functional groups could be constructed by the tandem catalytic sequence of ruthenium alkylidenes. While exploring these tandem reactions of bis-1,3-diyne substrates, an unprecedented hydrovinylation reaction was discovered when ethylene was employed as an alkene counterpart. More interestingly, these bis-1,3-diynes can undergo hexadehydro Diels-Alder reaction to form aryne intermediates, which are hydrohalogenated by halohydrocarbons activated by ruthenium alkylidene complexes. In this presentation, the scope and utility of these novel transformations will be discussed in the context of their discovery and application to natural product synthesis.
