Recent Development of Palladium-Supported Catalysts for Chemoselective Hydrogenation

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2017;65(1):2-9. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c16-00153.

Abstract

This paper describes practical and selective hydrogenation methodologies using heterogeneous palladium catalysts. Chemoselectivity develops dependent on the catalyst activity based on the characteristic of the supports, derived from structural components, functional groups, and/or morphologies. We especially focus on our recent development of heterogeneous palladium catalysts supported on chelate resin, ceramic, and spherically shaped activated carbon. In addition, the application of flow technology for chemoselective hydrogenation using the palladium catalysts immobilized on molecular sieves 3A and boron nitride is outlined.
