Recently used in the catalytic preparation of macrocycles and in the efficient synthesis of chiral β-substituted (E)-crotylsilanes.
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.
Rhodium(ii) heptafluorobutyrate dimer is prepared from Dirhodium(II) Tetraacetate by ligand displacement in refluxing perfluorobutyric acid containing perfluorobutyric anhydride.
reagent type: catalyst
core: rhodium
air stable, very hygroscopic; stored in desiccator.
