title: A new Ru-catalyzed cascade reaction forming polycyclic cyclohexadienes from 1,6-diynes and alkenes.
abstract: Functionalized bicyclic 1,3-cyclohexadienes can be easily prepared by a new cascade reaction which involves the Ru-catalyzed addition of acyclic alkenes to 1,6-diynes to give (Z)-hexatrienes, followed by a pure thermal 6e-pi electrocyclization.
