Abstract

The isomerisation of terminal alkenes to form internal alkenes is an extremely useful process, employed in industrial processes to equilibrate feedstocks or to achieve high-value molecules starting from easily accessible precursors. Moreover, this transformation is also widely applied in synthetic chemistry;[1] in particular, this can be used to obtain vinyl derivatives staring from the corresponding allylic moiety, which can often be easier to ...
