Homoallylic alcohols can be isomerized to allylic: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 118, 12867 (1996); Tetrahedron, 54, 5129 (1998).
In combination with ethylenediamine and KOH in 2-propanol, conventional hydrogenation of ketones can be accomplished: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 117, 2675 (1995); J. Org. Chem., 61, 4872 (1996). This combination is also effective for the selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of alkenes, whereas only olefinic bonds can be reduced with the Ru complex alone: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 117, 10417 (1995).
Catalyzes hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds to amines; selective reduction is possible in the presence of halogen, ester, nitrile and even additional nitro groups: Tetrahedron Lett., 2163 (1975). Aliphatic nitro compounds are hydrogenated to amines under high pressure: J. Org. Chem., 40, 519 (1975).
