A Pd/C catalytic system is highly active and selective at 8040ยฐC in the hydrogen transfer reaction from sodium formate to the C=C double bond of PhCOCH=CHCOOH to yield the corresponding y-keto acid PhCOCH,CH,COOH. When the substrate is allowed to react with a defect of formate salt and in the presen
