LOW PRESSURE CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION OF CARBONYL- CONTAINING COMPOUNDS AND CATALYSTS THEREFOR

摘要

LOW PRESSURE CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION OF CARBONYL-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS AND CATALYSTS THEREFOR Process for the hydrogenation of carbonylcontaining compounds at mild conditions of temperature and pressure to produce alcohols or amines is disclosed, employing palladium and zinc-containing catalysts. Methods for the preparation of the palladium and zinc-containing catalysts useful for the desired reductive conversion are also disclosed. le0378F
