Ruthenium-catalyzed reduction of allylic alcohols: An efficient isomerization/transfer hydrogenation tandem process

Abstract

A simple and highly efficient method for the selective reduction of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond in allylic alcohols has been developed using the ruthenium(II) catalyst [{RuCl(μ-Cl)(η6-C6Me6)}2].
