Significance
The authors have reported intermolecular cycloadditions through formal insertion of saturated C–H bonds into C–C σ-bonds. A ruthenium(0)/dppp complex catalyzed the diastereoselective coupling reactions of benzocyclobutenones to adjacent saturated carbon centers in diols.

Comment
The cycloaddition via ruthenacycles from the benzocyclobutenones and dehydrogenation of the alcohols provides a convergent method for the construction of type II polyketide substructures.
