PCT No. PCT/FR96/00101 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 31, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 31, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 22, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/22832 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 1, 1996The present invention relates to a composition which can be used as reduction catalyst. This composition is characterized in that it comprises a support whose constituent material comprises at least one oxide chosen from oxides which are inert or capable of being made inert relative to the reaction mixture and a phase at least partially covering the said support, of which at least part comprises an intermetallic ruthenium-tin compound of composition Ru3Sn7. The invention also describes the use of the reduction catalyst and its application to organic synthesis.
