RT journal article T1 Evidence for Ruthenium(II) Peralkene Complexes as Catalytic Species during the Isomerization of Terminal Alkenes in Solution A1 Sanz-Navarro, Sergio A1 Ballesteros-Soberanas, Jordi A1 Martínez-Castelló, Aarón A1 Doménech-Carbó, Antonio A1 Hernández Garrido, Juan Carlos A1 Cerón-Carrasco, José Pedro A1 Mon, Marta A1 Leyva-Pérez, Antonio A2 Ciencia de los Materiales e Ingeniería Metalúrgica y Química Inorgánica AB The isomerization (chain-walking) reaction of terminal tointernal alkenes is catalyzed by part-per-million amounts of practically any Rusource when the reaction is carried out with a neat terminal alkene. Here, weprovide evidence that the soluble starting Ru sources evolve to catalyticallyactive peralkene Ru(II) species under reaction conditions. These species mayalso explain the isomerization products found during other Ru-catalyzedalkene processes, i.e., alkene metathesis reactions. A Finke−Watzkymechanism for catalyst formation is consistent with the evidence obtained.
