, p. 6001 - 6006 (2009)
Zinc reduction of [(Cym)RuCl2]2 gives [(Cym)RuCl]2, (Cym = 1,4-MeiPrC6H4), whose reactivity is evaluated. This RuI dimer with two bridging chlorides shows no reactivity towards H

Page/Page column 19, (2012/02/01)
A method is described for use in a process for the conversion of an alcohol, the method including the step of contacting a composition comprising a first alcohol with a catalyst composition. Catalyst composition described comprises: i) a source of a Group VIII transition metal; ii) a phosphine ligand of formula PR1R2R3, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are the same or different; and iii) a base. In examples described, the alcohol which is converted comprises ethanol and the product comprises butanol.
