Wilkinson's catalyst is best known for catalyzing the hydrogenation of olefins with molecular hydrogen. [11] [12] The mechanism of this reaction involves the initial dissociation of one or two triphenylphosphine ligands to give 14- or 12-electron complexes, respectively, followed by oxidative addition of H 2 to the metal.
The Tsuji–Wilkinson decarbonylation reaction is a method for the decarbonylation of aldehydes and some acyl chlorides. The reaction name recognizes Jirō Tsuji, whose team first reported the use of Wilkinson's catalyst (RhCl(PPh 3) 3) for these reactions: RC(O)X + RhCl(PPh 3) 3 → RX + RhCl(CO)(PPh 3) 2 + PPh 3
The difference in regioselectivity is more pronounced in the hydroboration of vinylarenes with HBcat. Wilkinson's catalyst or the cation Rh(COD) 2 (in the presence of PPh 3) produces the Markovnikov product. [12] [13] The anti-Markovnikov product is produced in the absence of a catalyst. [14]
The reaction required tin tetrachloride and a stoichiometric amount of Wilkinson's catalyst: An equal amount of a cyclopropane was formed as the result of decarbonylation. The first catalytic application involved cyclization of 4-pentenal to cyclopentanone using (again) Wilkinson's catalyst. [4] In this reaction the solvent was saturated with ...
Dehydrogenative coupling of primary silanes using Wilkinson's catalyst is slow and dependent on the removal of H 2 product. This conversion proceeds by oxidative addition of the Si-H bond and elimination of dihydrogen. [7] Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C 6 F 5) 3)) is yet another catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of tertiary silanes ...
[6] [7] His preliminary results showed that acyl halides and aldehydes could be decarbonylated by Pd 0 at high temperatures (200 °C) yielding alkenes; [8] further investigation revealed that stoichiometric quantities of Wilkinson's catalyst was able to affect the same reaction at lower temperatures, [9] now known as the Tsuji-Wilkinson ...
An example of this is the Tsuji–Wilkinson decarbonylation reaction using Wilkinson's catalyst. (Strictly speaking, the noncatalytic version of this reaction results in the formation of a rhodium carbonyl complex rather than free carbon monoxide.)
Time is required for this transformation, hence the induction period. For example, with Wilkinson's catalyst, one triphenylphosphine ligand must dissociate to give the coordinatively unsaturated 14-electron species which can participate in the catalytic cycle: Wilkinson's catalyst requires activation before it can participate in the catalytic cycle
