Novel ruthenium-catalyzed reactions that employ ruthenium trichloride n-hydrate (RuCl3·nH2O) were investigated and dimerization, alkoxylation and sulfidation of olefins were noted. Adducts of Markovnikov type and anti-Markovnikov type were obtained in a stereospecific manner and in good yield, depending on the type of olefins used as the starting materials.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
