Abstract

Hydrogenation of heteroaromatic compounds is a useful reaction to provide saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic compounds,1 whose skeletons are found in many biologically active natural products and medicines.2 As well, the hydrogena- tion, which includes hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodeoxygenation, and hydrodesulfurization from petroleum and coal, offers an industrially important process. Although many efforts have been made ...
