Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The cyanoamine complexes of cobalt catalyze under mild conditions the selective hydrogenation of dienones to unsaturated ketones.

  2. 2.

    Hydrogen adds to crotonolideneacetone predominantly at the C=C bond adjacent to the carbonyl group. The amount of formed 5-hepten-2-one in the catalyzate reaches 85%.

  3. 3.

    In contrast to pentacyanocobaltate, the cyanoamine complexes of cobalt catalyze the isomerizatton of 5-hepten-2-one to 4-hepten-2-one and 3-hepten-2-one.
