Catalytic isomerization of allylic alcohols in ethanol as a green solvent was achieved by using air and moisture stable cobalt (II) complexes in the absence of any additives. Under mild conditions, the cobalt PNP pincer complex substituted with phenyl groups on the phosphorus atoms appeared to be the most active. High rates were obtained at 120 °C, even though the addition of one equivalent of base increases the speed of the reaction drastically. Although some evidence was obtained supporting a dehydrogenation–hydrogenation mechanism, it was proven that this is not the major mechanism. Instead, the cobalt hydride complex formed by dehydrogenation of ethanol is capable of double-bond isomerization through alkene insertion–elimination.

An efficient Michael addition of alcohols to activated alkenes promoted by sodium carbonate with water as reaction medium has been developed. The reaction provides a general, economical and environmentally friendly approach for the synthesis of β-alkoxycarbonyl compounds.
Platinum-catalyzed multi-step reaction of propargyl alcohols with N-heteroaromatics

experimental part, p. 141 - 146 (2010/04/23)
N-Methyl indole reacts with but-2-yn-1-ol in the presence of PtCl 2 in MeOH giving indole derivatives having a substituted 3-oxobutyl group at the 3-position in good yield. Under the reaction conditions, various substituted indoles and substituted propargyl alcohols are successfully involved in the reaction giving the corresponding addition products in good to moderate yields. The catalytic reaction can be further extended to N-phenyl pyrrole. In the present multi-step reaction, PtCl2 likely plays dual roles: as the catalyst for the rearrangement of proparg-yl alcohols to the corresponding alken-yl ketones and as the catalyst for the addition of indoles to the alkenyl ke-tones. Experimental evidence is provided to support the proposed mechanism.
