Redox isomerization of allylic alcohols into carbonyl compounds catalyzed by the ruthenium(IV) complex [Ru(η3:η3-C 10H16)Cl(κ2 O,O -CH3CO 2)] in water and ionic liquids: Highly efficient transformations and catalyst recycling

Isomerization reactions of allylic alcohols into carbonyl compounds can be efficiently performed in both water and in ionic liquids using [Ru(η³:η³-C₁₀H₁₆) Cl(κ²O,O-CH₃CO₂)] as catalyst. In both cases, the catalytic system could be recycled up to five times.
