Abstract

Catalytic hydrogenation of olefins stands as one of the most important and fundamental transformations in syn- thetic organic chemistry. The strive for selectivity in this process has led to the development of numerous hetero- geneous, and homogeneous ~atalysts.~ Although kinetic rate studies indicate that many of these should provide high selectivity in reduction of monosubstituted olefins in the presence of more highly hindered ...
