NMR-DETECTION OF INTERMEDIATES DURING HOMOGENEOUS HYDROGENATION OF DIENES USING PARAHYDROGEN

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)97941-3

1.The 1H-NMR spectra of the reaction products of hydrogenations using parahydrogen reveal information about intermediates and thus the reaction mechanism. 2.Due to its high signal enhancement the method is uniquely suited for reactions, where the catalyst itself becomes chemically modified.
