Abstract
The isomerization of 1-pentene to cis-2-pentene and trans-2-pentene is catalyzed by Ru3(CO)12 in nonpolar solvents and the initial rate dependence from the Ru3(CO)12 and CO concentration is discussed. Addition of acids such as acetic acid increases the conversion rate; in both cases mechanisms involving π-allyl intermediates are suggested. Dehydrogenation by Ru3(CO)12 of the pentene equilibrium mixture yields the hydrides H4Ru4(CO)12 and H2Ru4(CO)13 and two isomers of molecular formula HRu3(CO)9C5H7, as main products. These two complexes were characterized by spectral methods and their behavior in reactions with hydrogen and Ru3(CO)12 is described.
