1343469 Hydrogen transfer reactions; unsaturated alcohols SNAM PROGETTI SpA 12 Oct 1971 [13 Dot 1970] 47523/71 Heading C2C [Also in Division C5] Hydrogen transfer is effected between a first compound capable of accepting hydrogen and a second compound containing an olefinic centre of unsaturation capable of donating hydrogen by reaction in the presence of a complex of a Group VIII metal. Specifically mentioned is the conversion of 3-methyl-but-1-yn-3-ol and isopentene to give 3-methyl-but-1-en-3-ol and isoprene.
