A ruthenium-catalyzed oxygenative transformation of terminal propargyl alcohols to metheyleneketenes via allenylidene intermediates has been developed for the synthesis of a variety of α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives. Mechanistic study experiments disclosed that oxygen transfer from pyridine- N-oxide to ruthenium allenylidene generated from the reaction of catalyst CpRuCl(PPh3)2/NaBPh4 with terminal propargyl alcohol resulted in the formation of reactive methyleneketene intermediate, which was trapped into nucleophilic addition reactions to afford α, β-unsaturated product. This reaction offers an attractive complementary strategy to the traditional approach for the synthesis of this class of unsaturated compounds, but in a distinct mechanism, which provides a novel method for the transformation of propargylic alcohols. The metal allenylidene-to-methyleneketene transformation also represents a new mechanistic modality for metal allenylidene-mediated catalysis.
