Abstract
Hydrogenation of 2,4-hexadienoic acid methyl ester on supported metal catalysts (Pd/C, Pt/C, Rh/C and Ru/C) has been investigated. Methyl es ters of 2-hexenoic and 3-hexenoic acids were formed and further hydrog enated to the methyl eater of hexanoic acid. Palladium was found to be the most active and selective catalyst for this reaction owing to the formation of intermediates.
