Abstract

Propene can be oligomerized using Ru 3(CO) 12 as catalytic precursor in solution of a hydrogen donor solvent or in the presence of ethylene. Ethylene-propene mixtures undergo oligomerization in the presence of Ru 3(CO) 12 at 120°C with conversion even higher than 80%. Higher olefins do not react in the presence of this catalytic system. Ruthenium hydrides and alkyls are suggested intermediates in this catalytic cycle.
