Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards a catalyst which is obtainable by contacting in situ a ruthenium precursor and a phenol derivative. Furthermore, the present invention is directed towards the use of said catalyst in transfer hydrogenation reactions. In particular, the present invention is directed to a method for preparing menthone starting from isopulegol.
