WILKINSON homogeneous CATALYST HYDROGENATION OF ALKENE RhCl(P(Ph)3)3 MECHANISM THE RECTION STEPS
WILKINSON CATALYST HYDROGENATION OF ALKENE RhCl(P(Ph)3)3 MECHANISM INVOLVES THE RECTION STEPS Less hindered alkene undergo faster reaction.
Cis addition takes place.Rate determining step is the 1,2 INSERTION.
Iridium analog does not show activity due to its inability to undergo ligand dissociation.
