POLYMERIC HYDROGENATION CATALYSTS, THE PRODUCTION THEREOF AND THEIR USE TO PROMOTE HYDROGENATION

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREThe invention relates to polymeric solublehydrogenation catalysts in which a metal of the eighthsubgroup of the periodic system is bound by covalentand/or secondary valent bond to a soluble polymer. Thehydrogenation catalysts are produced by reacting theselected polymer having a functional group with a metal,metal complex or metal salt wherein the metal is ofthe eighth subgroup of the periodic table, the reactiontaking place in aqueous solution or in solution in anorganic solvent. The catalysts of the invention can beused for the catalytic hydrogenation of organic compoundsin solution.
