Abstract
The new Cp*Ru complexes [Cp*Ru(η4-MeCHCHCHCHCO2H)]+ X− (X− = CF3SO3 − or [B{C6H3(CF3)2-3,5} 4]−) are very effective catalysts for the hydrogenation of sorbic acid to cis-hex-3-enoic acid and of sorbic alcohol to cis-hex-3-en-1-ol (leaf alcohol) under mild conditions in liquid two-phase systems.Keywords
