The hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes was studied over ultrasonically
pretreated silica supported platinum catalyst. In the hydrogenation of cinn
amaldehyde a remarkable reaction rate and cinnamyl alcohol selectivity incr
ease was observed. Using other unsaturated aldehydes the reaction rate and
unsaturated alcohol selectivity increased moderately. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sci
