Quick, but not dirty! Microwave heating was found to have a significant effect on the Ru-catalyzed hydrovinylations of alkynes. A broad range of different terminal alkynes were coupled to methyl acrylate within just 30min in good to excellent yields (see scheme). This new protocol was transferred to the hydrovinylation of enynes as novel coupling partners in C-H-activation chemistry giving different 1,3,5-trienes as the sole products. Copyright
