title: Ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization/transfer hydrogenation of 1,6-diynes: unprecedented mode of alcohol activation via metallacyclopentatriene.
abstract: The first transfer-hydrogenative cyclization of 1,6-diynes that leads to exocyclic dienes was developed using a ruthenium catalyst and MeOH as a H(2) surrogate.
