Selective Catalytic Oligomerizations and Hydrogenations Using Polymer-Anchored Complexes of Ni and Ir.

Abstract

Polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin-anchored Ni(CO)2(PPh3)2 has been used to selectively oligomerize butadiene to either 4-vinyl-cyclohexene or 1,5-cyclooctadiene. Anchored Ir(Cl) (CO) (PPh3)2 selectively catalyzes the hydrogenation of 1,5-cyclooctadiene to cyclooctene. The activity of these catalysts in some cases surpasses that of their homogeneous counterparts under identical conditions.
