B. Richter et al., Fluorous biphasic hydrogenation of 1-alkenes using novel fluorous derivatives of Wilkinson's catalyst, J MOL CAT A, 145(1-2), 1999, pp. 317-321
A novel approach for the easy attachment of fluorous tails to aryl phospine
s has been developed, leading to a new fluorous alkylsilyl-substituted tria
ryl phospines P(C6H4SiMe2Rf-4)(3)(R-f = -(CH2)(2)(CF2)(n)CF3; n= 5, 7). The
derived fluorous tris(aryl phospine)rhodium(I) chloride complexes, being f
luorous analogs of Wilkinson's catalyst, show high activity in hydrogenerat
ion of 1-alkenes under fluorous biphasic (FBS) conditions and can be effect
ively recycled. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
