Abstract

The unusual reactivity of novel bifunctional catalyst 1 in the selective isomerization of alkenes under mild conditions is reported. A variety of alkenes are converted to the (E)-isomer in excellent yield with low catalytic loading. Recent findings indicate that the reaction catalyzed by 1 is reversible, resulting in unusual kinetically controlled mixtures very rich in (E)-products.
