Abstract
The potential of several alkylcobalt complexes as catalysts for hydrogenation and isomerization of alkenes has been investigated. The complexes CH3Co(CO)2(Pom-Pom) (Pom-Pom = 1,2 bis(dimethoxyphosphino)ethane), CH3Co(CO)3P(OMe)3 and C6H5CH2Co(CO)3PPh 3 are compared to CH3Co(CO)2(P(OMe)3)2, for their ability to function in catalytic cycles. Each is active for hydrogenation and isomerization of alkenes under conditions where the carbonylation-decarbonylation equilibrium is readily established. The lifetime for the complexes is much shorter than for CH3Co(CO)2 (P(OMe)3)2 suggesting that two phosphorus donors in trans positions in an intermediate is a requirement for catalyst stability in these alkylcobalt complexes.
