Abstract
Ruthenium complexes have been shown to perform efficient transfer hydrogenation reactions between alcs. and alkenes; in combination with an in situ Wittig reaction, indirect formation of C-C bonds has been achieved from alcs. E.g., ruthenium complex-catalyzed indirect Wittig reaction of PhCH2OH, Ph3P:CHCO2CH2Ph, and CH2:CHSiMe3 gave up to 90% PhCH2CH2CO2CH2Ph.
