RHODIUM(II) HEPTAFLUOROBUTYRATE DIMER Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Recently used in the catalytic preparation of macrocycles and in the efficient synthesis of chiral β-substituted (E)-crotylsilanes.

Application

Rhodium(ii) heptafluorobutyrate dimer is a catalyst that can be used for carbene reactions of diazo compounds, hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes, and silyl carbonylation of alkynes.

Preparation

Rhodium(ii) heptafluorobutyrate dimer is prepared from Dirhodium(II) Tetraacetate by ligand displacement in refluxing  perfluorobutyric acid containing perfluorobutyric anhydride.
