Description

Chlorobis(ethylene)rhodium(I) dimer is used as a precursor to rhodium(I) norbornadiene catalyst, which is used in an asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to cyclic enones. Further, it serves as an important organic intermediate. It catalyzes the dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene. It is also used in the preparation of homogeneous catalysts. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
