Abstract
A new catalytic system using the combination RuCl2(DMSO)(4)/CH3CH2COON a/DMSO/carboxylic acid which enables selective dimerization of acrylon itrile to linear dimers without formation of propionitrile as a byprod uct has been developed on the basis of a new working hypothesis of the desirable reaction mechanism involving protonolysis of a C-Ru bond in the intermediate.
