  This paper focuses on the next most important factor influencing the selectivity: the molecular structure of the substrate. We investigated the influence of the substitution and  position of the double bond relative to the nitrile group on the  selectivity for unsaturated amines. Seven different substrates  (see Fig. 1) were chosen for hydrogenation tests. Considering the position of the double bond, three different groups  of substrates were compared.
