Abstract

The homogeneous hydrogenation of 1-heptene catalysed by bis(di- phenylphosphinoethyl)amine chlororhodium(I) (RhClHN(CH2CH2PPh2)2, or RhCl(DPPA)) over the temperature range 10-40°C is reported. The dependence of the rate of hydrogenation on factors such as temperature (10-40°C), catalyst, substrate and H2 concentrations (partial pressure 0.6-1atm) was studied and reported. The order of the reaction with respect to [1-heptene] and [H2] is fractional, and that to [catalyst] is first order. A mechanism for the homogeneous hydrogenation reaction is proposed whereby the coordination of the olefin to the dihydridorhodium(III) catalyst intermediate is rate-determining, before the rapid transfer of the hydrides to the olefin to form the alkane. The thermodynamic parameters corresponding to the equilibrium constants K1 and K2 for the formation of the dihydrido and olefin complexes, respectively, and the activation parameters corresponding to the rate constant k' (rate-determining step) were calculated. The thermodynamic parameters involving the formation of the complex olefin (1-heptene) (S) species [RhCl(DPPA)(S)] were compared with those for the corresponding cyclohexene complex formation. The activation parameters for the hydrogenation of 1-heptene and cyclohexene catalysed by RhCl(DPPA) are compared, and the variation of the rates with the nature of the alkane discussed.
