Abstract

The chemo-selectivity of group-VIII metal catalysts has been examined in the hydrogenation of nonconjugated enones at ambient temperature under an atmospheric pressure of hydrogen. A cobalt catalyst gave high yields of unsaturated alcohols from trialkylated olefinic ketones. Osmium showed the highest selectivity among platinum metal catalysts for the reduction of the carbonyl bond in the hydrogenation of trialkylated olefinic ketones. The ...
