Abstract

Abstract The ruthenium cluster Ru 3 (CO) 12 (1) has been evaluated as a catalyst precursor for the thermal reactions of 1-octene with (EtO) 3 SiH in a mixture of dioxane and benzene at temperatures of 50–75 C. At 70 C or higher, olefin isomerization and hydrosilylation reactions were observed; the products, trans-2-octene and C 5 H 11 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 Si (OEt) 3 (2) were identified. The reactions were accompanied by a side reaction that ...
