Solvents in Retreat
A new catalyst for selective solvent-free hydrogenation at low temperatures A number of cyclic hydrocarbons with multiple double bonds are readily accessible intermediates in chemical industry. In the course of further processing it is often necessary to saturate some of the double bonds with hydrogen to form single bonds. This type of reaction,... view more... (2001-03-27)
