Abstract

Abstract Ruthenium complex catalyzed regioselective dehydrogenation of unsymmetrically substituted 1, 4-and 1, 5-diols in the presence of α, β-unsaturated ketone as a hydrogen acceptor and triethylamine gave β-substituted γ-lactones and γ-substituted δ-lactones as major products, respectively.
