The in situ generated ruthenium acetylide complex C 5 Me 5 (PPh 3 )RuC⋮CPh ( 1 ) was found to catalyze the cross-coupling reaction of terminal and internal alkynes to yield functionalized enynes. An intermediate β-agostic species was isolated from the reaction of C 5 Me 5 (PPh 3 )(Cl)Ru C CHBu- t ( 2b ) with 2-butyne in the presence of NaOMe.
