Abstract

Seven new ruthenium(III) complexes of the general formula [RuCl(PPh3)LL′] · xH2O (LL′ = [ONNO] = symmetrical and unsymmetrical Schiff base derivatives of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane and 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde as well as R-salicylaldehydes, x = 0–3) have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques. The catalytic activities of the complexes in the isomerization reaction of selected O-allyl systems, i.e., 1,4-diallyloxybutane and 4-allyloxybutan-1-ol have been studied. Some of the complexes showed high efficiency and E-stereoselectivity in double bond migration of allyl group to 1-propenyl group and high selectivity of isomerization of allyloxyalcohol to cyclic acetal.
