Reaction Steps

In a typical combined dehydrogenation/decarbonylation, 1-decanol (398 μmol) was treated with RuCl2 (PPh3)3 (19 μmol), RhCl(PPh3)3 (96 pmol) and benzalacetophenone (438 pmol) in 2 ml of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and heated under nitrogen at 125° C. After 40 hours, 64 μmol of nonane had formed; after 6 days the yield of nonane was 92 μmol (96% based on Rh).
