Solvent-free [Ru]-catalyzed isomerization of allyl glycidyl ether: The scope, effectiveness and recycling of catalysts, and exothermal effect

- New catalyst system {[RuCl2(p-cymene)]2} + 25 ppm of allyl hydroperoxides.
- Solvent-free highly efficient synthesis of 1-propenyl glycidyl ether monomer.
- Easy scale-up with the practically quantitative yields of the product.
- Stability of the [Ru-H] catalyst as the key factor for the success of the reaction.
