TY - JOUR A1 - Schmidt, Bernd A1 - Hauke, Sylvia T1 - Cross metathesis of allyl alcohols how to suppress and how to promote double bond isomerization T2 - Organic & biomolecular chemistry : an international journal of synthetic, physical and biomolecular organic chemistry N2 - Under standard conditions the cross metathesis of allyl alcohols and methyl acrylate is accompanied by the formation of ketones, resulting from uncontrolled and undesired double bond isomerization. By conducting the CM in the presence of phenol, the catalyst loading and the reaction time required for quantiative conversion can be reduced, and isomerization can be suppressed. On the other hand, consecutive isomerization can be deliberately promoted by evaporating excess methyl acrylate after completing cross metathesis and by adding a base or silane as chemical triggers.
