What Are Some Common Types of Catalytic Reductions?
Several types of catalytic reductions are widely used, including:
Hydrogenation: The addition of hydrogen to unsaturated bonds, such as converting alkenes to alkanes. Reductive Amination: The formation of amines from aldehydes or ketones in the presence of a reducing agent. Hydrodesulfurization: The removal of sulfur from petroleum products using hydrogen and a catalyst. Transfer Hydrogenation: A process where hydrogen is transferred from a donor molecule to an acceptor, often used when molecular hydrogen is not suitable.
