Wilkinson's catalyst (chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)) is a coordination complex of rhodium with the formula [RhCl(PPh 3)], where 'Ph' denotes a phenyl group. It is a red-brown colored solid that is soluble in hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, and more so in tetrahydrofuran or chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane .
The Tsuji–Wilkinson decarbonylation reaction is a method for the decarbonylation of aldehydes and some acyl chlorides. The reaction name recognizes JirÅ 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
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 ] It is worth noticing that the use of RhCl 3 ·nH2O produces selectively the anti-Markovnikov product. [ 15 ]
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 ...
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.)
Kartstedt's catalyst is often used in hydrosilylation. Before introduction of platinum catalysts by Speier, hydrosilylation was not practiced widely. A peroxide-catalyzed process was reported in academic literature in 1947, [9] but the introduction of Speier's catalyst (H 2 PtCl 6) was a big breakthrough. Karstedt's catalyst was later
Mechanism for the hydrogenation of a terminal alkene using Wilkinson's catalyst. Homogeneous catalysts are also used in asymmetric synthesis by the hydrogenation of prochiral substrates. An early demonstration of this approach was the Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of enamides as precursors to the drug L-DOPA . [ 10 ]
The Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling reactions were typically performed with Pd(PPh 3) 4 as catalyst and were mostly limited to aryl bromides and iodides at elevated temperatures, while the widely available aryl chlorides were unreactive. Dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands are sometimes referred to as the "Buchwald ligands."
