Mild and Selective Catalytic Hydrogenation of the C=C Bond in α,β‐Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds Using Supported Palladium Nanoparticles.

Two catalysts consisting of palladium nanoparticles supported either on a siliceous mesocellular foam (PDC-1) or on a metal-organic framework (PDC-2) are evaluated in the title reaction of some unsaturated substrates and compared with the results obtained from Pd-C.
