Carbon nanotubes supported catalysts for selective hydrogenations of unsaturated aldehydes
| Resumo: | Selective catalytic hydrogenation of organic substrates containing unsaturated functional groups is an important step in the industrial preparation of fine chemicals. Allylic alcohols are obtained by the reduction of the carbonyl group in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and are valuable intermediates for the production of perfumes, flavoring additives, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Different supports have been tested with several degrees of success and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) represent a material that since it was first reported it has been target of intensive study for many new applications. Due to their electronic, adsorption, mechanical and thermal properties it shows a enormous potential in the catalysis field. |
