Heterolytic activation of hydrogen gas: New evidence for Spencer–Yu hypothesis

Hydrogenolysis of organolithium reagents is described under heterogeneous catalysis in the presence of Pd 0. This approach gives details about the H–H bond polarization in the presence of transition metal catalysts. ▪ Hydrogenolysis or deuterogenolysis of organolithium compounds is described for the...

Description
Summary:Hydrogenolysis of organolithium reagents is described under heterogeneous catalysis in the presence of Pd 0. This approach gives details about the H–H bond polarization in the presence of transition metal catalysts. ▪ Hydrogenolysis or deuterogenolysis of organolithium compounds is described for the first time under heterogeneous catalysis. This work establishes that the carbon–lithium bond can undergo a facile reduction reaction when catalyzed by palladium or platinum catalysts and provides strong evidence for the existence of Pd δ−–H δ+ species.
