30. + [dippe = 1,2- bis(diisopropylphosphane)ethane] with pyrrole or 2-methylfuran was found to give the ruthenium-vinylidene complex having pyrrole or 2-methylfuran at the γ-carbon, but this reaction took place only in the presence of acid, indicating that an initial protonation at the β-position of the allenylidene complex enhances the electrophilic character of the γ-carbon atom. This reaction mechanism is considered to proceed via a dicationic ruthenium-carbyne complex: E. Bustelo, M. Jimenez-Tenorio, K. Mereiter, M. C. Puerta, P. Valerga, Organometallics 2002, 21, 1903.

58. After our preliminary communication appeared, catalytic propargylation of aromatic compounds with propargylic alcohols catalyzed by transition-metal complexes has been reported by several groups: a) Rhenium-catalyzed propargylation with propargylic alcohols bearing an internal alkyne moiety has been reported: J. J. Kennedy-Smith, L. A. Young, F. D. Toste, Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 1325;
59. b) Mononuclear ruthenium complexes have promoted the propargylation of aromatic compounds with propargylic alcohols bearing a terminal alkyne moiety, where the propargylated products were obtained in only moderate yields: E. Bustelo, P. H. Dixneuf, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2005, 347, 393;
60. c) Gold-catalyzed propargylation of aromatic compounds such as 1,3-dimethoxybenzene and furan with propargylic alcohols bearing an internal alkyne moiety has been reported: M. Georgy, V. Boucard, J.-M. Campagne, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 14180.
