Abstract

In this study, ruthenium-on-carbon-catalyzed hydrogenation of CBDK was developed for the production of cis-CBDO under solvent-free conditions. Isomerization using a ruthenium catalyst and hydrogen gas may improve the selective formation of cis-CBDO. Moreover, the reaction mechanisms for cis-selectivity was proposed based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
