Abstract

Abstract A process for the preparation of novel zero-valent rhodium catalysts. The catalysts are prepared by the reaction of a hydrocarbyl-lithium compound with a hydrocarbon-soluble complex of a rhodium halide and a ligand. The catalyst may, if desired, be deposited on a support such as alumina or silica. It is effective to catalyze the hydrogenation of organic compounds such as benzene, styrene and the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
A process for the hydrogenation of aromatic, olefinic and acetylenic compounds comprising treating such compounds with hydrogen in the presence of a zero-valent rhodium catalyst prepared by a process comprising reacting a hydrocarbyllithium compound with a rhodium halide complex of the formula Rh X a L b where X is a chlorine or bromine, L is an olefinic hydrocarbon ligand, a is 1-3 and b is 1-4 in a hydrobcarbon solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 71 words
A process for the hydrogenation of aromatic, olefinic and acetylenic compounds comprising treating such compounds with hydrogen in the presence of a zero-valent rhodium catalyst prepared by a process comprising reacting a hydrocarbyllithium compound with a rhodium halide complex of the formula Rh X a L b where X is a chlorine or bromine, L is an olefinic hydrocarbon ligand, a is 1-3 and b is 1-4 in a hydrobcarbon solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
