The previously known complexes, Rn;Reactions of RuCl;Reactions involving 3b and methanol have also been studied, and 3b is also active for the transfer hydrogenation (from methanol) of ketones and activated olefins. The reaction of 3b with methanol in the absence of base is proposed to occur with the stoichiometry:(UNFORMATTED TABLE OR EQUATION FOLLOWS);The hydrogenation of 1-hexene catalyzed by 1a is re-interpreted as occurring via the mechanism: (UNFORMATTED TABLE OR EQUATION FOLLOWS)... |
