Ruthenium(ii)-catalysed cycloisomerisation of 1,6-dienes by focused microwave dielectric heating: improved rates and selectivities leading to exo-methylenecyclopentanes

Abstract

We herein report the effect of microwave dielectric heating in the Ru-catalysed cycloisomerisation of 1,6-dienes. Substantially improved reaction rates are attained for a series of 1,6-diene substrates, with equivalent or higher isomeric purity than conventional thermal heating.
