Catalytic transfer hydrogenation with simultaneous isomerization of 1-
olefins (C-6 - C-8), 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 1,7-octadiene and cyclohexene
using ammonium formate on 3% Pd/C at 20 degrees C in methanol was stu
died. The effect of the experimental procedure upon the hydrogenation
course was discussed. The effect of applied donor quantity upon the hy
drogenation selectivity and individual substrate reactivity was monito
red.
