Stereoselective catalytic hydrogenation of sorbic acid and sorbic alcohol with new Cp*Ru complexesDedicated to Professor Wilhelm Keim on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

Abstract

The new Cp*Ru complexes [Cp*Ru(η4-MeCH[double bond, length half m-dash]CHCH[double bond, length half m-dash]CHCO2H)]+ X (X = CF3SO3 or [B{C6H3(CF3)2-3,5} 4]) are very effective catalysts for the hydrogenation of sorbic acid to cis-hex-3-enoic acid and of sorbic alcohol to cis-hex-3-en-1-ol (leaf alcohol) under mild conditions in liquid two-phase systems.
