Abstract

\ 1 docsllos i HZ decalins resulting catalyst species gave a mixture of decalins, tetralin, and naphthalene (0.3 equiv). These results suggest that the process responsible for the change in catalyst activity involved an exchange of the allyl ligand in 1 for one derived from the naphthalene substrate as shown in Scheme I, in contrast to a recent report that loss of the allylic group of V~-C~ H & O [P (OCH~)~]~ precedes formation of the cobalt hydride ...
