Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The chlorodimethylsulfoxide complex of rhodium in the reduced form catalyzes the homogeneous hydrogenation and isomerization of pentenes. The relative rates of their conversion decrease in the order 1-pentene>3-methyl-1-butene>trans-2-pentene>cis-2-pentene.

  2. 2.

    2-Methyl-2-butene is not hydrogenated or isomerized, probably because of steric hindrance. 2-Methyl-1-butene does not react and deactivates the rhodium catalyst with respect to the transformation reactions of olefins.

  3. 3.

    Under the conditions selected, the Rh complex does not catalyze the reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide by molecular hydrogen.
