RT Journal Article T1 Ruthenium-Catalyzed Tandem Carbene/Alkyne Metathesis/N-H insertion. Synthesis of Benzofused Six-Membered Azaheterocycles A1 Padín Santos, Damián A1 Varela Carrete, Jesús Ángel A1 Saá Rodríguez, Carlos K1 Carbenes K1 Carbene/Alkyne metathesis K1 N-H insertion K1 Tandem reactions K1 Ruthenium AB Cp*RuCl-based catalyst enables the expedient access to a variety of benzofused six- membered azaheterocycles from unprotected o-alkynylanilines and trimethylsilyldiazomethane through an unprecedent tandem carbene/alkyne metathesis/N-H insertion reaction. The transformation takes place under mild reaction conditions (room temperature, < 15 min) and with excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic utility of the final products and a mechanistic rationale are also discussed.
