A selective coupling of alkynylsilanes and allyltrimethylsilane is catalyzed by 5 mol% of indium tribromide under mild conditions to afford the corresponding α,β-acetylenic ketones and β,γ-unsaturated ketones in excellent yields.

Under the conditions of ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation, 1,3-dienes couple to benzylic and aliphatic alcohols and aldehydes to deliver β,γ-unsaturated ketones in very good yields. In all cases, complete branch regioselectivity is observed.

An efficient cross-addition reaction of dienes with aldehydes in the presence of RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 as catalyst gives various β,γ-unsaturated ketones. A π-allylruthenium species, derived from hydroruthenation of the diene, may be involved as a key intermediate.
