title: Hydroruthenation triggered catalytic conversion of dialdehydes and keto aldehydes to lactones.
abstract: Lactonization of dialdehydes and keto aldehydes was effectively catalyzed by RuHCl(CO)(PPh(3))(3). A cascade lactonization sequence accompanied by cross-coupling with enones was also attained.
