Water-soluble Organometallic compounds. 2. Catalytic hydrogenation of Aldehydes and olefins by New water-Soluble 1,3,5-Triaza-7-phosphaadamantane Complexes of Ruthenium and Rhodium

摘要: The authors describe the chemical preparation of water-soluble phosphine complexes ruthenium (II) and rhodium (I). complex RuCl{sub 2}(PTA){sub 4} (2a) its protonated analog 4}{center_dot} 2HCl (2b) cis-bis-(phosphine) RhCl(PTA){sub 2}{center_dot} 2HCl, derived form protonation 3} by HCl were characterized X-ray crystallography. 2a is catalytically active for conversion unsaturated aldehydes to alcohols catalyzes olefin hydrogenation. 14 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
