Hydrogenation versus hydrogenolysis with a safe, selective and reusable catalyst: palladium black on Teflon (R)
Résumé
Palladium black deposit is obtained by reduction and metallization of the Teflon(R) polymer surface of magnetic stirring bars. These stirring bars can be used to perform selective hydrogenation of olefins and acetylenic compounds whilst hydrogenolysis is not observed.
