Question

The reagent used for catalytic hydrogenation of an alkene as well as bring about homogeneous catalysis is (A) Raney nickel (B) (Ph3P)3RhCl “Wilkinson’s reagent” (C) Pd/C (D) PtO2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Wilkinson’s catalyst brings about homogeneous catalysis as it is soluble in reaction medium. All others bring about heterogeneous catalysis as catalysts and reactants remain in different phase.
