title: Ruthenium-catalyzed reduction of allylic alcohols: an efficient isomerization/transfer hydrogenation tandem process.
abstract: A simple and highly efficient method for the selective reduction of the C=C bond in allylic alcohols has been developed using the ruthenium(II) catalyst [{RuCl(mu-Cl)(eta(6)-C(6)Me(6)}2].
