A catalytic system B based on a ruthenium source Ru 3 (CO) 12 , a bulky imidazolinium salt and Cs 2 CO 3 appears very efficient for the transformation of a 1,7‐diene into a γ,δ‐unsaturated aldehyde via tandem isomerisation/Claisen reactions. 1,6‐Dienes arising from the terpenoids menthone and myrtenal were selectively transformed into the corresponding unsaturated aldehydes with catalyst B . High throughput experiments were undertaken to evaluate other multicomponent catalysts: metal source/ligand/base for these tandem reactions. An unexpected catalyst was found to be Ru(methallyl) 2 (COD) which can operate without additional ligand or reagent.
