Abstract
The utility of catalytic hydrogenation in the synthesis of organic compounds is evident from the number of monographs on the subject published in recent years [l-41. Unlike other synthetically useful reactions, however, the conditions used for a given hydrogenation are generally chosen on the basis of an empirical correlation and not on a knowledge of the mechanism of the reaction. One reason for this is that most of the mechanistic studies made on catalytic hydrogenation do not readily lend themselves to extrapolation to synthetic ally useful reactions.
