Ruthenium-catalyzed carbonylation of allene: direct synthesis of methacrylates and methacrylamides.
Carbonylation reactions of allene in alcohols and amines in the presence of a ruthenium carbonyl catalyst under mild conditions gave methacrylates and methacrylamides, respectively, in good yields with an atom economy of 100%.
