Under the conditions of ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation, commercially available acyclic 1,3-dienes, butadiene, isoprene, and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, couple to benzylic alcohols 1a-6a to furnish products of carbonyl crotylation 1b-6b, carbonyl isoprenylation 1c-6c, and carbonyl reverse 2-methyl prenylation 1d-6d. Under related transfer hydrogenation conditions employing isopropanol as terminal reductant, isoprene couples to aldehydes 7a-9a to furnish identical products of carbonyl isopr ...[more]
