Abstract

The present invention refers to the compounds (.mu.-hydrazine-N.sup.1 :N.sup.2)-bis[bis(triphenylphosphine)-chlororhodium (I)] and di(.mu.-hydrazine-N.sup.1 :N.sup.2)-bis[bis(triphenylphosphine)rhodium (I)] dichloride, which are homogenous hydrogenation catalysts and their application in the hydrogenation of the exocyclic methylene group of acid addition salts of 6-demethyl-6-deoxy-6-methylene-5-hydroxytetracycline (methacycline) to prepare .alpha.-6-deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline (doxycycline).
