,( ArCH=CRCH3 ArCHzCRHCH20H ) + HZ - ArCHzCRHCH3 In our experiments we followed the process of Skita,4 using colloidal palladium as the catalyst in most cases, since he found that with cinnamic aldehyde itself this process caused neither hydrogenation of the benzene nucleus nor formation of bimolecular compounds, under conditions similar to ours. With one mole of hydrogen per mole of cinnamic aldehyde, he reported that his product was nearly ...
