Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>R u ready for it yet?</bold> The reaction of [Ru(cod)(methallyl)₂] with tripodal phosphine ligands of the TRIPHOS‐type results in the formation of Ru‐trimethylenemethane complexes. Evaluation of their catalytic properties revealed a high activity for hydrogen transfer and CO cleavage reactions including the hydrogen‐free reductive cleavage of 2‐aryloxy‐1‐arylethanols as model compounds for lignin linkages.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36pzzdw6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
