Reaction
“Zipper” catalyst for alkene isomerization over up to 30 double bond positions. Selective isomerization over one position also possible. Depending on substrate structure, H/D exchange at accessible allylic positions can be accompanied by isomerization.
Uses
(Acetonitrile)[4-tert-butyl-2-(diisopropylphosphino)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN,κP](η5-cyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(1+) hexafluorophosphate, is an Alkene Zipper Catalyst, used in selective transformation of a large variety of ω-alkenyl cyclopropylcarbinols into stereodefined unconjugated (E)-acyclic aldehydes .
