(i-Pr)2P A -P(i-Pr)2 1b) Complex A from 1a) above promotes the dehydrogenation of butane to afford 1-butene. Formulate a plausible, complete catalytic cycle for this transformation and attach the proper name to each reaction step as discussed in the lecture; to safe time with paper work, any dummy ligands can be skipped in the cycle.
