Abstract
Abstract The activities of various 3% palladium catalysts supported on a Spanish sepiolite and on different SiO 2 AlPO 4 (80:20 w/w) systems were compared in the reduction of acetophenone (i) by hydrogen transfer with cyclohexene as an hydrogen donor and a reflux system, (ii) by hydrogen transfer in a closed system and (iii) with hydrogen gas in a Parr system. The influence of the addition of hydrochloric acid, iron (III) chloride and sodium hydroxide on the reduction of acetophenone by hydrogen transfer was established and the reduction of differently substituted acetophenones (bearing various electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing substituents) was studied.
