Abstract
A novel approach for the easy attachment of fluorous tails to aryl phospines has been developed, leading to a new fluorous alkylsilyl-substituted triaryl phospines P(C{6}H{4}SiMe{2}R{f}-4){3}(R{f}=-(CH{2}){2}(CF{2}){n}CF{3}; n=5, 7). The derived fluorous tris(aryl phospine)rhodium(I) chloride complexes, being fluorous analogs of Wilkinson's catalyst, show high activity in hydrogeneration of 1-alkenes under fluorous biphasic
