New developments in hydrogenation catalysis particularly in synthesis of fine and intermediate chemicals

Recent Advances in the Liquid‐Phase Synthesis of Metal Nanostructures with Controlled Shape and Size for Catalysis

“…Among structure-sensitive reactions, catalytic hydrogenations of multiple carbon-carbon bonds are of special interest due to their high importance in bulk and fine chemical production (18,108). Until recently, most studies have been performed with near spherical Pd nanoparticles.…”

Palladium Nanohexagons and Nanospheres in Selective Alkyne Hydrogenation

“…Among structure-sensitive reactions, Pd-catalyzed hydrogenations of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds are of special interest due to their importance in bulk and fine chemical production [19,20]. First studies of liquid-phase 1-butyne hydrogenation over Pd/SiO 2 and Pd/Al 2 O 3 revealed antipathetic size dependence of TOF calculated per total number of surface atoms [15].…”

Homogeneous Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Heterocyclic Compounds – The Case of 1,4 Addition on Conjugated C-C and C-O Double Bonds of Arylidene Tetramic Acids

“…While there has been some success in this area, there still remains a considerable amount of work to be done. [12] At this point we can refer to a few more interesting heterogeneous catalytic reaction cases. The recent study presented by Bridier and Pérez-Ramírez demonstrates the possibility of selective catalytic hydrogenation of conjugated dienes and ene-ynes.…”

“…There have been some examples identified, where heterogeneous catalysts show promising results. [12] The catalytic hydrogenation of , -unsaturated ketones in particular has been widely investigated. This unsaturated system is encountered in many organic structures linear or cyclic.…”
