Abstract

Glycerol, a biodegradable and virtually non-toxic chemical, can be used as a green solvent and hydrogen donor in the ruthenium-catalyzed reduction of allylic alcohols, a tandem process that involves the initial redox-isomerization of the allylic alcohol and subsequent transfer hydrogenation of the resulting carbonyl compound. Among the different ruthenium sources employed, the best results were obtained with the hydrophilic arene–Ru (II) ...
