HYDROGENATION OF OLEFINICALLY HYDROCARBONS

摘要

The hydrogenation of olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons in the presence of a catalyst comprising the reaction product of an organometallic reducing agent and an alkoxide or carboxylate of cobalt, nickel or iron, is interrupted by injecting a supplementary amount of an organometallic reducing agent. Subsequent to interruption the hydrogenation may be reactivated by adding an alcohol or a supplementary amount of a carboxylate or alkoxide of cobalt, nickel or iron.
