EFFECT OF SOLVENTS ON HYDROGENATION OF OLEFINIC SUBSTRATES
The presented work is a continuation of earlier studies and it is aimed at a quantitative interpretation of relations between the nature of a solvent and the rate of hydrogenation and adsorptivity of nine olefinic substrates. Hydrogenation experiments were performed at normal conditions in seven solvents with a catalyst containing 5% Pt on silica gel. Simultaneously, relations between the structure of substrates and their reactivity and adsorptivity in separate solvents were tested.
