An exceptionally rapid and selective hydrogenation of 2-cyclohexen-1-one in supercritical carbon dioxide.
Selective hydrogenation of 2-cyclohexen-1-one over Pt-MCM-41 proceeds at a very high rate and produces cyclohexanone with selectivity of 100% in a batch reactor; a marked increase in the reaction rate (TOF) from 2283 min(-1) to 5051 min(-1) is observed on increasing the pressure from 7 MPa to 14 MPa at 40 degrees C.
