Use of water as a solvent in directing hydrogenation reactions of aromatic acids over Pd/carbon nanofibre catalysts
By conducting the catalytic hydrogenation over water miscible Pd/carbon nanofibre catalysts, selective ring hydrogenation of aromatic acids can be performed in aqueous solution without the need to provide protection for the external acid function.
