Selective hydrogenation for fine chemical synthesis

• Hydrogenation is an important and widely applied reaction in chemical industry. Supported ionic liquid (IL) type catalysts have shown good performance in various hydrogenation reactions. This chapter introduces a few case studies where supported IL catalysis has been applied in hydrogenation reactions. The case studies highlight the novelty of supported IL catalyst (SILCA) catalysts. Selective hydrogenation of α,ß-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, and esters, in general, is a versatile pathway to obtain many interesting products that can be used in perfumes, hardening of fats, preparation of pharmaceuticals, and synthesis of organic intermediates. SILCAs have been successfully demonstrated to act as catalysts in chemoselective hydrogenations, and thus an analogous concept has been applied for the synthesis of chiral metal complexes in ILs supported on heterogeneous catalysts.
