Abstract

1. A study has been made of the activity of skeletal iron catalyst in hydrogenation reactions. 2. It has been established that this catalyst has a considerable activity in hydrogenation reactions at 20° and normal pressure. 3. The activity of an iron catalyst for the hydrogenation of an ethylene bond is two to three times less than that of a skeletal nickel catalyst. 4. Compounds containing a triple bond are hydrogenated at a somewhat lower rate than compounds containing an ethylene bond. A carbonyl group is hydrogenated still more slowly.
