title: Ruthenium-catalyzed [1,n]-metallotropic shift (n = 3, 5) of alkynyl carbene complex intermediates.
abstract: The ruthenium-catalyzed isomerization of diynes and triynes involving propargyl carboxylate moieties affords dienynes and dienediynes, respectively. The [1,n]-metallotropic shift (n = 3, 5) (carbene walk) of in situ generated alkynyl carbene complexes has been proposed for the catalytic isomerization reaction.
