Abstract
Abstract Ru 3 (CO) 12-(CH 3) 3 NO· 2H 2 O showed high catalytic activity for the decarbonylation of alkyl formates to the corresponding alcohols at 150–200 C under an argon atmosphere. Decarbonylation of β-phenetyl formate afforded β-phenetyl alcohol in 82% yield. On the other hand, when decarbonylation of benzyl formate was performed in the absence of (CH 3) 3 NO· 2H 2 O, benzylation of arenes, which were employed as a ...
