One compound that performs this process consists of a metal bonded to pyridine, tris-cyclohexylphosphine, and 1,5-cyclooctadiene.
One compound that performs this process consists of a metal bonded to pyridine, tris-cyclohexylphosphine, and 1,5-cyclooctadiene. Another compound contains a central ruthenium atom bonded to one chlorine atom and three triphenylphosphine groups. Those compounds are catalysts named after Crabtree and Wilkinson. This process can be performed using a mixture of solvated sodium in (*) liquid ammonia to obtain a trans product or by using a compound that contains palladium poisoned with quinilone. This process is often performed using Lindlar's catalyst or Raney nickel, and typically involves the reduction of an alkyne or an alkene to an alkane. For 10 points, name this chemical process which as its name suggest involves the addition of the lightest chemical element.
