PROCESS FOR THE HYDROGENATION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

The present invention focuses on a process for the hydrogenation of aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds and in particular on the ring hydrogenation of compounds having the formula (I). Aromatic amino acids and amino alcohols ca n be successfully ring-hydrogenated using a platinum-rhodium mixed catalyst. T he products can be used inter alia as mimetics in bioactive peptide active ingredients.
