Ruthenium(III) salts catalyze the hydration of alkynes. Internal symmetrical alkynes give the expected ketones, whereas terminal alkynes, depending on the reaction conditions, give either the Markovnikov or the anti-Markovnikov products. Thus, terminal alkynes when refluxed in formic acid in the presence of dodecacarbonyltriruthenium(0), in the absence of water, give methyl ketones 7 (R2 = H) in good yields (Scheme 8).[1] Several authors have reported the anti-Markovnikov ruthenium(II)-catalyzed addition of water to terminal alkynes, giving aldehydes as major products.[24–26]
