Abstract

Abstract Hydrogenation of methyl linoleate on palladium catalysts in solution with tetraalkylammonium perchlorate as electrolyte, leads mainly to the saturated product methyl stearate. At negative potentials of the catalyst electrode controlled at about− 1 Volt versus a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) with negligible current passage, the monoenic intermediate is the end product, with the double bond found mainly in the Z configuration ...
