Abstract

The most widely used method of adding the elements of hydrogen to a double bond is catalytic hydrogenation. Except for very sterically hindered alkenes, this reaction usually proceeds rapidly and cleanly. The common catalysts are various forms of transition metals, particularly platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and nickel. Both the metals, as finely dispersed solids or adsorbed on inert supports such as carbon or alumina, and certain soluble complexes of these metals exhibit catalytic activity. Although carbon—carbon double bonds are the most frequently reduced functional group, many other functionalities are also subject to catalytic hydrogenation under appropriate conditions.
