The new ruthenium complex [Ru(N3P)(OAc)][BPh4] (4), in which N3P is the N,P mixed tetradentate ligand N,N-bis[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-[2(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]methanamine was synthesized. The complex was found to be catalytically active for the endo cycloisomerization of alkynols. The catalytic reactions can be used to synthesize five-, six-, and seven-membered endo-cyclic enol ethers in good to excellent yields. A catalytic cycle involving a vinylidene intermediate was proposed for the catalytic reactions. Treatment of complex 4 with PhC≡CH and H2O gave the alkyl complex [Ru(CH2PhJ(CO)(N 3P)][BPh4] (30), which supports the assumption that the catalytic reactions involve addition of a hydroxyl group to the C=C bond of vinylidene ligands.
Stereochemical Control in the Ester Enolate Claisen Rearrangement. 2. Chairlike vs Boatlike Transition-State Selection

The preference for chair-and boatlike transition-state geometries in the ester enolate Claisen rearrangement of straight chain, carbocyclic, and heterocyclic propanoates was investigated.A novel stereoelectronic effect in pyranoid and furanoid glycal systems leads to a significant relative stabilisation of the boatlike vs the chairlike TS(excit.).The preferred transition state in six- and five-membered carbocyclic systems is highly dependent on steric factors, as the energy difference between chair-and boatlike TS(excit.) tends to be small.With straight-chain substrates, a significant contribution of the boatlike TS(excit.) to the rearrangement product mixture is only expected in bis-donor substituted allylic esters.
