Concept explainers

Diol

In chemistry there are so many chemical compounds that have a hydroxyl group but a chemical compound having two hydroxyl groups (-OH) is termed as a diol. It also implies the presence of two alcohols whereas polyols contain two or more than two hydroxyl groups (-OH). Glycol or 1,2-diol is an aliphatic diol that has two alcohol groups on adjacent carbon atoms. In industries, the most commonly used diol is ethylene glycol.

[Rh(PPh3)3Cl] is a precatalyst that can be activated by dissociation of a phosphine ligand to form an active catalyst, B, which is used in the hydrogenation of alkenes. The active catalyst can then undergo oxidative addition in the presence of H2 to form complex C. Propene coordinates to C to form complex D, which then undergoes a 1,2- insertion step to form E. Reductive elimination of propane from E regenerates the active catalyst B. Draw complexes B – E and hence provide a full catalytic cycle, including the activation step, for the hydrogenation of propene
