title: Ru(II)-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,2-bis(propiolyl)benzenes with monoalkynes leading to substituted anthraquinones.
abstract: [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions of 1,2-bis(propiolyl)benzenes with monoalkynes were effectively catalysed by Cp*RuCl(cod) under mild conditions to give substituted anthraquinones in moderate to high yields.
