Selective isomerization of terminal alkenes to Z-2-alkenes is challenging because of the thermodynamic preference for E alkenes. This work investigates the mechanism of a Mo catalyst that achieves high Z selectivity for a range of aliphatic alkenes. DFT analysis points to a hydride migration as key to the isomerization process.
由于E烯烃的热力学偏好,末端烯烃选择性异构化为 Z - 2 -烯烃具有挑战性。这项工作研究了 Mo 催化剂对一系列脂肪族烯烃实现高Z选择性的机制。DFT 分析指出
氢化物迁移是异构化过程的关键。
