Alkyne-1,4-diols are readily available substrates which are isomerised to 1,4-diketones using Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2/xantphos as a catalyst. In situ cyclisation into furans, pyrroles and pyridazines has been achieved under suitable conditions.

Various 1,2,5-substituted pyrroles have been synthesised from 1,4-alkynediols using a ruthenium catalysed isomerisation to give the corresponding 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds, which undergo in situ cyclisation to pyrroles in the presence of amine.
2,5-Disubstituted furans from 1,4-alkynediols

1,4-Alkynediols serve as readily available starting materials for isomerisation to 1,4-diketones, which can be converted in situ into the corresponding furans by acid-catalysed dehydration. A range of 2,5-disubstituted furans was prepared using the ruthenium-based catalyst Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2 with Xantphos at 1 mol % loading.
