title: Aldol- and Mannich-type reactions via in situ olefin migration in ionic liquid.
abstract: An aldol-type and a Mannich-type reaction via the cross-coupling of aldehydes and imines with allylic alcohols catalyzed by RuCl(2)(PPh(3))(3) was developed with ionic liquid as the solvent. The solvent/catalyst system could be reused for at least five times with no loss of reactivity.
