The decarbonylation of aldehydes using ruthenium porphyrins

The topic of this thesis is the catalytic and stoichiometric decarbonylation of aldehydes. A carbonylation reaction, the reaction of RuTPP(n-Bu₃P)₂ with CO gas was also studied. A catalytic decarbonylation system, using RuTPP(PPh₃)₂ as catalyst plus added excess tri-n-butylphosphine in acetonitrile...
