N. Ravasio et al., CU SIO2 - AN IMPROVED CATALYST FOR THE CHEMOSELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF ALPHA,BETA-UNSATURATED KETONES/, Tetrahedron letters, 37(20), 1996, pp. 3529-3532
Cu/SiO2 can be conveniently used for the quantitative hydrogenation of
conjugated enones to saturated ketones, also when another olefinic bo
nd is present in the molecule, under very mild conditions. Molecular H
-2 or 2-propanol can be used as hydrogen source. Copyright (C) 1996 Pu
