Abstract
The catalytic selectivity and activity of the catalyst PdCl2 can be improve
d significantly by using PPh3 as a ligand and NaBH4 as a reducing agent in
the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to hydrocinnamaldehyde
(HCAL) under atmospheric pressure. Adding a second transition metal compone
nt [NiCl2, Ni(OAc)(2), Fe(acac)(3), Co(OAc)(2)] to the catalyst can improve
its selectivity further. PdCl2-0.5Co(OAc)(2)-PPh3 reduced by NaBH4 is the
best catalyst. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
