Effect of thiophene modification on supported metal catalysts for the hydrogenation of but-2-enal

In contrast to the behaviour of supported Cu and Au catalysts, the selectivity of but-2-en-1-ol in the gas-phase hydrogenation of but-2-enal at 120 °C is not increased by pre-treatment of Co/Al 2O 3, Co/SiO 2, Co/ZnO, Ni/Al 2O 3, Ru/Al 2O 3 and Rh/Al 2O 3 with thiophene. Selectivities to by-products...

Description
Summary:In contrast to the behaviour of supported Cu and Au catalysts, the selectivity of but-2-en-1-ol in the gas-phase hydrogenation of but-2-enal at 120 °C is not increased by pre-treatment of Co/Al 2O 3, Co/SiO 2, Co/ZnO, Ni/Al 2O 3, Ru/Al 2O 3 and Rh/Al 2O 3 with thiophene. Selectivities to by-products formed by dimerisation and hydrogenolysis are, however, decreased.
