Abstract
A cationic ruthenium catalyst tolerates the use of 1,2-di- and trisubstituted olefins in intramolecular ene-type reactions for the formation of five- and six-membered rings. A wide range of functional groups and of alkene and alkyne substitution has little effect on the course of the reaction. A striking example of the extreme mildness of the ruthenium catalyst system is the formation of silyl enol ethers.
