Organometallic Chemistry. The Players Introducing Wilkinson’s Catalyst, RhCl(PPh3)3
Organometallic Chemistry. The Players Understanding Wilkinson’s Catalyst, RhCl(PPh3)3 Analyze electronic structure
Organometallic Chemistry. The Players Understanding Wilkinson’s Catalyst, RhCl(PPh3)3 RhCl3(H2O)3 + excess PPh3 Analyze Reaction RhCl3(H2O)3 + 4 PPh3 RhCl3(PPh3)3+ O=PPh3 + 2 HCl + 2 H2O
Organometallic Chemistry. The Players (Actually it’s more complicated…) RhCl3(H2O)3 + excess PPh3 heat Reaction Conditions?
Organometallic Chemistry. The Play So what does Wilkinson’s catalyst do? Make a prediction?
Organometallic Chemistry. Your play 1. Make the catalyst: RhCl3(H2O)3 + excess PPh3 2. Investigate this Reaction: heat ? + RCHO Mild heat Rh product ppts Filter; save filtrate Take IR and NMR of ppt ESI-MS of ppt Propose reaction
Organometallic Chemistry. Next Week 1. Catalytic Olefin Hydrogenation 2. Analyze filtrate by GC-MS: does it confirm your proposed reaction?
