Abstract

Results Scope of the Investigation and Kinetic Methods. The investigation reported here includes kinetic, deuterium-labeling, and reaction product studies of representative terminal alkene hydrogenation and isomerization reactions. Previous experience had shown that nonterminal alkenes were sluggish in hydrogenation reactions carried out with our catalyst precursors in the presence of added PPh, and that 1-alkenes which were capable of ...
