Abstract
The Ru(eta(6)-naphthalene)(eta(4)-cycloocta-1,5-diene) complex, 1, in the p resence of acetonitrile, is able to promote the isomerization of methyl lin oleate under mild conditions (60 degrees C) with high yields. Using aprotic solvents (hexane) the reaction is very selective, by-products like methyl oleates and polymers are formed in negligible amounts. A remarkable long-li ved catalytic activity has been observed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. Al l rights reserved.
