Abstract: Herein lies a convenient and highly efficient method of olefin isomerization in the presence of RuCl3·3H2O in ionic liquid(IL). More importantly, RuCl3·3H2O is a robust and recyclable catalyst. Nine cycles of RuCl3·3H2O as the catalyst were performed for the isomerization reactions of the selected substrate in IL and MeOH.
