Abstract

The catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic compounds to form cyclohexane derivatives represents a challenging area of research in both the general synthetic and industrial fields of chemistry.[1] Despite recent progress in the development of homogeneous catalysts for hydrogenolysis,[2–5] the properties of heterogeneous systems are generally considered to be more favorable and benign, including their lower cost, operational simplicity, and ease ...
