Is. Cho et H. Alper, SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF SIMPLE AND FUNCTIONALIZED CONJUGATED DIENES USING A BINUCLEAR PALLADIUM COMPLEX CATALYST PRECURSOR, Tetrahedron letters, 36(32), 1995, pp. 5673-5676
The selective 1,2-hydrogenation of simple and functionalized conjugate
d dienes is catalyzed by preactivation of the binuclear palladium comp
lex, [(Bu(2)(t)PH)PdPBu(2)(t)](2), with oxygen, in THF at room tempera
ture and I atm of hydrogen pressure, to form monoenes in excellent yie
