Abstract

Abstract A relatively selective hydrogenation of 1, 5-cyclooctadiene to cyclooctene has been achieved in cyclooctane solution at atmospheric pressure using a powder catalyst with 0.6%(by wt.) palladium on γ-alumina. The cyclooctene yields are temperature independent within 30 to 50 C, they are, however, markedly decreased with the use of the tablet catalyst.
