Abstract

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation using palladium(II) chloride, zinc powder and various organic acids proved effective for the reduction of a variety of alkenes at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The method was found to be convenient, economical and uses a stable nonpyrophoric catalyst.

KEY WORDS: Catalytic transfer hydrogenation, Hydrogenation of alkenes, Palladium(II) chloride, Zinc powder, Organic acids, Nonpyrophoric catalyst
