title: A regioselective Ru-catalyzed alkene-alkyne coupling to form (Z,Z)-1,3-dienes.
abstract: Generally, Ru-catalyzed alkene-alkyne coupling forms 1,4-dienes. A version of this process which generates a 1,3-diene as the Z,Z-isomer preferentially has now been observed. The scope of this new atom-economic process is described herein.
