Abstract

Extensive application of Adams platinum oxide has proved its value as a catalyst for low pressure hydrogenation, 2 but little is known of its utility at high hydrogen pressure. Some indication that it may be useful at high pressure is found in the reduction of L-mannonic lactone to mannitol,^ and in the reduction in this laboratory of phenacylpyridinium bromide to the alcoh01.~ This paper reports an extension of the high pressure method to some ...
