Ruthenium-Catalyzed Furan- and Pyrrole-Ring Formation

Pp. 36-80 (45)

Victorio Cadierno and Pascale Crochet

Abstract

The utility of ruthenium-based catalysts in the construction of furan and pyrrole derivatives is reviewed. Among others, synthetic approaches involving cycloisomerization, olefin metathesis and multicomponent reactions are discussed.

Keywords:

Ruthenium complexes, homogeneous catalysis, tandem catalysis, aqueous catalysis, supported catalysts, furans, pyrroles, atom economy, cycloisomerization, cyclization, rearrangements, multicomponent reactions, ring-closing metathesis, enyne metathesis, alkynes, diynes, enynes, propargylic alcohols, epoxyalkynes, ketoalkynes, dienes.
