Abstract
The complexes RCo(CO)2L2 (R = CH3, CH3C(O), L = P(OCH3)3) show a marked activity (450 turnovers/h) for hydrogenation of terminal olefins at ambient conditions. There is very little activity for more hindered olefins. A number of reactions have been examined, which allow a mechanism for the catalytic cycle to be presented. This mechanism involves a series of methyl → acetyl interconversion which open coordination sites, very similar to η3 · η1 allyl interconversions.
