Hydrogenation and Hydrogenolysis with Pd/C in Poly(Ethylene Glycol) (PEG): A Practical and Recyclable Medium

Abstract

Pd/C in PEG (400) has been found to be an efficient ­reusable reaction medium for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis. Both the catalyst and PEG were recycled efficiently over four runs without appreciable loss of activity.

hydrogenation - hydrogenolysis - Pd/C - poly (ethylene glycol) - recycling
