Abstract
The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation system for olefins based on the use of tris(triphenylphosphine)chlororhodium has been extended to the specific reduction of the unsaturated carbon–carbon bond in propenal, but-2-enal, and trans-2-methylpent-2-enal, resulting in the corresponding saturated aldehydes. The method would appear to be of general utility for such reductions.Keywords
