Enol Acetal Synthesis through Carbenoid CH Insertion into Tetrahydrofuran Catalyzed by CpRu Complexes

Abstract

Intermolecular CO instead of CC bond formation is achieved with [CpRu(CH3CN)3][PF6] and diimine ligands as catalysts of the decomposition of α-diazo-β-ketoesters in THF leading to original products of 1,3 CH insertion (see scheme).
