Wilkinson's catalyst _{3} C l\right] \) is used for:
Wilkinson's catalyst \( \left[R h\left(P h_{3} P\right)_{3} C l\right] \) is used for:
- A. hydrogenation of oils
- B. hydrogenation of alkynes
- C. hydrogenation of alkenes
- D. polymerisation of alkenes
Step-by-step solution
Wilkinson's catalyst is a homogeneous catalyst that efficiently hydrogenates alkenes to alkanes under mild conditions. It is not typically used for oil hydrogenation, alkyne hydrogenation (which can lead to over-reduction), or alkene polymerization.
