Abstract

Abstract Alkenes and alcohols are among the most abundant and commonly used organic feedstock in industrial processes. We report a selective catalytic alkylation reaction of alkenes with alcohols that forms a carbon-carbon bond between vinyl carbon-hydrogen (C– H) and carbon-hydroxy centers with the concomitant loss of water. The cationic ruthenium complex [(C 6 H 6)(PCy 3)(CO) RuH]+ BF 4–(Cy, cyclohexyl) catalyzes the alkylation in ...
