For the Monsanto process.
In a catalyzed hydrogenation reaction of RCH=CH2 with H2,
the catalyst precursor is Rh(Cl)(PPh3)3. It is proposed that the
first step in the mechanism is the addition of the alkene to the
active catalyst, trans-HRh(CO)(PPh3)2. Suggest how the reaction
might then proceed and construct an appropriate catalytic
cycle.
