A highly chemo- and regioselective cyclco)trimerization between 3-halopropiolamides and symmetrical internal alkynes is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by CpRuCl(COD) and proceeds under air at ambient temperature in ethanol with no additional precautions. Iodo-, bromo-, and chloropropiolamides, esters, and ketones are viable coupling partners and, in a 2 1 stoichiometry relative to internal alkyne, yield fully-substituted arenes in a single step. The highest regioselectivities (96% single isomer) were observed wh
