Abstract

Abstract: The q3-C3HSCo (P (OCH3) 3) 3-catalyzed hydrogenations with D2 of a series of unsaturated organic molecules, including cyclohexenes, cyclohexadienes, and arenes, have been investigated. Complete cis stereoselectivity was observed in the addition of deuterium to the unsaturated ring systems. When alkyl-substituted arenes were reduced with D2, the hydrogen atoms in the alkyl chains underwent HD exchange as long as each ...
