Abstract
The allylation of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds and malononitrile with aliphatic allylic substrates is achieved under mild conditions in the presence of new ruthenium catalysts. The ruthenium complex [Ru(C~5~Me~5~)(2‐quinolinecarboxylato)(CH~2~CHCH‐n‐Pr)] [BF~4~] as a precatalyst, allows the synthesis of mono‐allylated branched derivatives. On the other hand, the parent complex [Ru(C~5~Me~5~)(MeCN)~3~] [PF~6~] as a precatalyst, straightforwardly favours the bis‐allylation of the procarbonucleophiles leading to bis‐allylated bis‐linear products. The involvement of the two precatalysts provides a sequential synthesis of unsymmetrical mixed linear‐branched bis‐allylated derivatives.
