Hydrogenation of amides by the use of bimetallic catalysts consisting of group 8 to 10, and group 6 or 7 metals

Abstract Hydrogenation of amides can be catalyzed by bimetallic systems. which consist of Group 8 to 10 late transition-metals and Group 6 or 7 early transition-metals. under the mild conditions to afford the corresponding amines selectively in good to excellent yields.

Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids using bimetallic catalysts consisting of group 8 to 10, and group 6 or 7 metals

Abstract Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to alcohols was effectively catalyzed by bimetallic systems consisting of Group 8 to 10 late transition-metals, and Group 6 or 7 early transition-metal carbonyls. These catalysts easily converted α,ω-dicarboxylic acid monoesters into ω-hydroxyalkanoic esters in good yields.
