Part I. Coenzyme B12 as a hydroformylation-type catalyst. Part II. Mechanisms of hydrogen transfer in the methylmalonyl coenzyme a mutase reaction
<p>Part I</p> <p>The mechanism of the hydroformylation reaction was studied. Using cobalt deuterotetracarbonyl and 1-pentene as substrates, the first step in the reaction, addition of cobalt tetracarbonyl to an olefin, was shown to be reversible.</p> <p>Part II&l...
