HYDROGENATION OF 3-ETHOXY-1-PROPENE CATALYZED BY SUPPORTED NICKEL CATALYSTS.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.57.3323

Nickel catalysts supported on different kinds of metal oxides were prepared to search for active catalysts for 3-ethoxy-1-propene hydrogenation. Ni/ThO//2 and Ni/SiO//2-Al//2O//3 catalysts exhibited high activity and selectivity for 1-ethoxypropane, while Ni/MgO, Ni/CaO, and Ni/La//2O//3 catalysts preferentially catalyzed double bond migration to 1-ethoxy-1-propene which undergo hydrogenation with difficulty.
