Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of trans-methyl 4-(chloro(hydroxyimino)methyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate (0.900 g, 4.10 mmol) and but-2-yne-1,4-diol (0.370 g, 4.30 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (41.0 ml) was added chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) (0.0778 g, 205 μmol) and triethylamine (0.713 ml, 5.12 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 h. The solvent was evaporated. The residue was triturated in ethyl acetate (50 ml). The solids were removed by filtration and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography with n-heptane/ethyl acetate as eluent gave the title compound (0.758 g, 69%) as light brown oil.
