✦ Synopsis
The partial hydrogenation of 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1,4-dione ketoisophorone was studied over alumina-supported Pt and Pd catalysts. The influence of solvent, pressure, catalyst pretreatment, and Lewis acid and base additives was investigated. Chemoselectivities over 90% were achieved in the saturation of the C5C or the sterically hindered C5O double bonds over Pt and Pd, respectively. This seems to be the first example for the selective reduction of an a ,b-unsaturated ketone to an unsaturated alcohol using dihydrogen. Enantioselective hydrogenation of the carbonyl group over cinchonidine-modified Pt afforded only 14% ee.

The aim of the present work is to study the selective reduction of NO x from natural gas sources. The unburned methane can be used as reductant. Another reductant such as hydrogen can be created in situ, using a microreformer. The results suggest that the NO x are reduced by H 2 at low temperature,
