Ruthenium-catalyzed isomerization of alkenol into alkanone in water under irradiation of microwaves
Ruthenium catalyzed isomerization of alkenol into alkanone through a migration of C-C double bond was performed in water under irradiation of microwaves. When the reaction was performed in deuterium oxide instead of water, the trail of the migration was shown by H-D exchange reaction.
