Abstract
On the basis of reaction kinetics, H–D exchange, and i.r. studies of the hydrogenolysis of oxirans and oxolans, the opposite regio- and stereo-selectivities of Pt and Ni are interpreted, a new reaction mechanism is proposed, and it is shown experimentally that the reaction mechanism depends inter alia on the steric structure of the molecule.Keywords
