Aqueous organometallic catalysis under traditional conditions

1 Aqueous organometallic catalysis under traditional conditions 

Isomerization is a frequent side-reaction of catalytic transformations of olefins, however, it can be a very useful synthetic method, as well. One of the best-known examples is the enantioselective allylamine — enamine isomerization catalyzed by [Rh (/ )- or (S)-BINAP (COD)]+ which is the crucial step in the industrial synthesis of L-menthol by Takasago [42] 

Homoallyl alcohols Repositioned ( ) allylic alcohols [RuCl2(PPh3) ] [8,9]
