Abstract
A ruthenium complex is a very efficient catalyst for selective mono-isomerization of various multifunctional alkenes to afford E-products. Many reactions are complete within 10 min at room temperature. Even sensitive enols and enamides susceptible to further reaction can be generated. Very low catalyst loadings can be employed.
