✦ Synopsis


Pt±Sn/MCM-41 reduction catalysts were prepared by a two-step impregnation procedure. The eect of the Sn content was evaluated in the liquid-phase hydrogen transfer reduction of an enone prostaglandin intermediate. Results indicate that up to a Sn/Pt atomic ratio of 3.3 increasing amounts of Sn favor the formation of the allylic alcohol. The reaction also displays moderate diastereoselectivity. On the other hand, the Pt/MCM-41 catalyst produces the saturated ketone as the main reaction product.
