The selective one-step transformation of trans-1-ethoxy-2-ethynylcyclopropane (1) by a formal 1,4-addition of carboxylic acids with cyclopropyl-ring opening into allene derivatives 4a-i (53-96% yield) is achieved with the binuclear ruthenium precatalyst [Ru(O2CH)(CO)2(PPh3)]2. The products combine a reactive allene moiety and a protected aldehyde functionality, and thus offer themselves as versatile building blocks for organic synthesis.
