Evaluation of catalytic activity of [RuClCp(dmoPTA)(PPh3)](OSO2CF3) in the isomerization of allylic alcohols in water (dmoPTA = 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane)

• Homogeneous catalytic isomerization of allylic-alcohols in presence of water.
• Ru complexes containing the open adamantane phosphine dmoPTA.
• Bi-heterometallic-Ru–M complexes (M = Co, Ni, Zn) containing dmoPTA.
• Water and pH influence on the catalytic isomerization of allylic-alcohols.

The catalytic activity of [RuClCp(HdmoPTA)(PPh3)](OSO2CF3) (1) and the dimeric complexes [RuClCp(PPh3)-μ-dmoPTA-1κP:2κ2N,N'-MCl2] (M = Ni (2), Co (3), Zn (4)) for the isomerization in water under Ar and ambient atmosphere of 1-octen-3-ol, 1-hepten-3-ol and 1-hexen-3-ol was investigated. A detailed study was devoted to the catalytic activity under Ar of 1 for the isomerization of 1-octen-3-ol.
