Abstract
Abstract Colloidal rhodium particles, photochemically generated from Rh 4 CO) 12 , via transfer hydrogenation, photochemically catalyzed the transformation of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (1,5-COD) to cyclooctene (COE) and then to cyclooctane (COA) in the presence of acetone, a triplet sensitizer, and 2-propanol, a hydrogen donor. The hydrogenation rate of 1,5-COD was faster than that of COE by a factor of 4.3. Maximum selectivity of COE was found to be 85%.
