Abstract
The dibenzyl A-frame compound Rh{sub 2}({mu}-CO)-(CH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 5}){sub 2}(dppm){sub 2} undergoes carbonylation with stoichiometry controlled by CO pressure. At 300 Torr (0.4 atm) of CO, monoketone 1,3-diphenylacetone. At 2.5 atm of CO, clean conversion to dicarbonylated product is observed. Experiments to elaborate the mechanism were performed and are discussed here. 9 refs., 1 fig.
