M. Zheng et al., HYDROGENATION OF ANISOL AND BENZALDEHYDE CATALYZED BAY CHICKEN FEATHER-PALLADIUM COMPLEX, Polymers for advanced technologies, 8(11), 1997, pp. 638-640
A palladium complex of chicken feather was found to be active for the
catalytic hydrogenation of anisol and benzaldehyde to give cyclohexyl
methyl ether and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde over 90% yields respectivel
y at 80 degrees C and under a atmospheric hydrogen pressure. The yield
s were greatly affected by the content of Pd in the chicken feather-pa
lladium complex and by reaction temperature. (C) 1997 by John Wiley &
