Z. Dobrovolna et L. Cerveny, COMPETITIVE HYDROGENATION OF UNSATURATED-HYDROCARBONS BY HYDROGEN-TRANSFER FROM AMMONIUM FORMATE ON A PALLADIUM CATALYST, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 62(9), 1997, pp. 1497-1502
Competitive hydrogenation of alkenes (cyclohexene, hex-1-ene, hept-1-e
ne, oct-1-ene) and dienes (octa-1,7-diene, cyclohexa-1,3-diene) was ca
rried out by catalytic hydrogen transfer from ammonium formate on pall
adium in methanol. The adsorptivity and reactivity of the hydrocarbons
decreased in the series: cyclic diene > linear diene > linear 1-alken
e > cyclic alkene.
