A formal anti-Markovnikov hydroalkoxylation of allylic alcohols with a ruthenium catalyst

Hydroalkoxylation of C-C double bonds was achieved through the use of a ruthenium catalyst. The reaction of allylic alcohols with nucleophilic alcohols was carried out in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst prepared by RuClH(CO)(PPh3)3 and 2,6-bis(n-butyliminomethyl)-4-(piperidin-1-yl)pyridine under mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding γ-alkoxypropanols in good yield.
