The demethylation of coordinated hexamethylbenzene is integrated into [3 + 2] allyl/alkyne cycloaddition reactions mediated by (η6-hexamethylbenzene)-Ru(η3-allyl)OTf. The reaction proceeds in high yield at or below room temperature and yields methane and (η 3-pentamethylbenzene)ruthenium(1,2-dialkylcyclopentadienyl)+OTf - complexes exclusively. Cycloaddition with carbon-carbon bond activation is general for a range of disubstituted alkynes.
