Abstract: An investigation was conducted on ruthenium-catalyzed (2+2) cycloadditions of bicyclic alkenes with alkynyl sulfides and alkynyl sulfones. The sulfide and sulfone moieties were found to be compatible with the Ru-catalyzed cycloadditions, giving the corresponding cyclobutene cycloadducts in good yields.
