Dehydrogenation of cyclohexenes to cyclohexadienes by [(PPh3)(2)Rh](+). The isolation of an intermediate in the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane to benzene: crystal structure of [(eta(4)-C6H8)Rh(PPh3)(2)][closo-CB11H6Br6]
Treatment of the arene bridged dimer [(PPh3)2Rh]2 [closo-CB11H6Br6]2 with eight equivalents of cyclohexene affords [(η4- C6H8) Rh(PPh3)2] [closo-CB11H6Br6] with the concomitant formation of one equivalent of cyclohexane, while 1-methylcyclohexane and 4-methylcyclohexane both give 2-methylcyclohexa-1...
