Ruthenium hydride-catalyzed addition of aldehydes to dienes leading to beta,gamma-unsaturated ketones.
An efficient cross-addition reaction of dienes with aldehydes was developed by using RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 as a catalyst to give a wide variety of beta,gamma-unsaturated ketones, where a pi-allylruthenium species, derived from hydroruthenation of diene, may be involved as a key intermediate.
