Unique catalysis of gold nanoparticles in the chemoselective hydrogenolysis with H_2: cooperative effect between small gold nanoparticles and a basic support

摘要

Gold nanoparticles on hydrotalcite act as a heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenolysis of various allylic carbonates to the corresponding terminal aikenes using H2 as a clean reductant. The combination of gold nanoparticles and basic supports elicited significantly unique and selective catalysis in the hydrogenolysis.
