## Abstract A dicationic dichloro‐bipyridine‐ruthenium complex shows very high catalytic activity in redox isomerization of allylic alcohols but a relatively low one in transfer hydrogenation of ketones; surprisingly, the analogous dimethyl‐bipyridine‐ruthenium complex shows reverse catalytic activ
Dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium (II), RuC12(PPh3)3, is well known for its ability to catalyze hydrogen transfer in several organic reactions l-10 . We now wish to report the application of this effect to the selective transfer-hydrogenation of a&unsaturated carbonyl compounds. A mixture of

## Abstract A Ru(II)—dichlorobipyridine complex (Ia) efficiently catalyzes the redox isomerization of terminal and internal allylic alcohols to give the corresponding ketones, e.g. (III), (V) or (VII), in high to excellent conversion.
