66. Recently, Yamamoto and co-workers reported that a cyanoalkyne failed to react with 1-hexyne intermolecularly in the presence of [Cp*RuCl(cod)] catalyst, but intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions of cyanodiynes proceeded to give tricyclic pyridines in the presence of the same Ru catalyst, although a diluted reaction condition or a slow addition is necessary. See ref 11n.
