The reaction of a variety of alkynes with N₂CHSiMe₃, in the presence of Cp*RuCl(cod) as the catalyst precursor, leads to the general formation of functional conjugated dienes. This selective formation results from the ruthenium-catalyzed creation of two carbon−carbon double bonds in a single step under mild conditions. Terminal alkynes produce 1,4-bistrimethylsilylbuta-1,3-dienes with Z stereoselectivity for the less hindered double bond whereas disubstituted alkynes favor E-configuration for the same double bond. Diynes react also as monoalkynes, and only one triple bond is transformed to give disilylated dienynes. The reaction can be applied to the in situ desilylation in methanol and formation of monosilylated dienes. The catalytic formation of 1,4-bisfunctional buta-1,3-dienes can also take place with N₂CHCO₂Et and N₂CHPh. The reaction can be understood by addition of two carbene units to triple bonds. An initial [2 + 2] addition of the Ru═CHSiMe₃ bond with the alkyne triple bond leads to an alkenyl ruthenium-carbene species capable of coordinating a second carbene unit to produce conjugated dienes.
