Problems of the use of rhenium compounds and supported mono-, bi-, and
poly-metal rhenium-containing catalysts in reactions of methathesis o
f alkenes and unsaturated functional compounds, hydrogenation and dehy
drogenation of hydrocarbons, transformations of hydrocarbons and their
mixtures, hydrogenation of fractions of carboxylic acids and the prod
ucts of hydroformylation of esters of synthetic fatty acids, are consi
dered. The peculiarities of Al-Pt-Rh-catalysts under conditions of ref
orming are described. The specificity of the action of rhenium heptasu
lfide in reactions of hydrogenation of fused N-containing aromatic com
pounds and reductive C-alkylation of indoloisoquinoline with alcohols
is noted.
