title: An unusual dimerization of primary unsaturated alcohols catalyzed by RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3.
abstract: When primary unsaturated alcohols were treated with a catalytic amount of RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 in benzene under reflux, dimerization reactions took place to give alpha-hydroxymethyl ketones as major product.
