Abstract
A process for conjugating organic compounds containing methylene interrupted carbon-carbon double bonds comprising (a) contacting ruthenium trichloride hydrate and an organic solvent or carboxylic acid to form a first mixture, the organic solvent or carboxylic acid being present in an amount sufficient to solubilize the ruthenium trichloride hydrate, and (b) contacting the first mixture with an organic compound containing methylene interrupted carbon-carbon double bonds at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient time to conjugate the organic compound containing methylene interrupted carbon-carbon double bonds; wherein the ruthenium in the ruthenium trichloride hydrate in (b) is present in an amount of about 5 ppm to about 100 ppm based on the weight of the organic compound containing methylene interrupted carbon-carbon double bonds.
