Hydrogenation of aromatic ketones, aldehydes, and epoxides with hydrogen and Pd(0)EnCat 30NP.
Aromatic aldehydes and ketones as well as aromatic epoxides are selectively reduced to the corresponding alcohols under mild conditions using conventional hydrogen in the presence of Pd(0)EnCat 30NP catalyst. The reactions were performed at room temperature during 16 hours with high to excellent conversions of the corresponding products.
