28. In the reaction of 1d, a small amount (0.36 mmol) of propene was generated from allyl acetate (30 mmol) together with isobutene (1.68 mmol, 42%) from 1d.

These results indicate that carbon monoxide and maleic anhydride may coordinate to an active ruthenium center and promote the reductive elimination of propene from a (hydrido)(allyl)ruthenium intermediate, as well as control the electronic condition of an active ruthenium center.

32. 3 catalyst and an excess amount of allyl acetate in THF gave the transfer-allylated product, (E)-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one (8a) and 3-methyl-1-phenylbut-2-en-1-one (9a) in yields of 68 and 35%, respectively (eq 8). Of course, no reaction occurred in the absence of 1a or 1d, even in the presence of allyl acetate Matrix equation presented.
