I don't know where this thread should go so I'm putting it here. Feel free to move it.
Does anyone have any recommended books on hydrogenation and the preparation of catalysts?
I am specifically looking for info on the prep of platinum or palladium from Pt/Pd Cl salts with NaBH4. From my reading it seems like people are going to a lot of trouble to prep Adams catalyst platinum oxide from Chloroplatinic acid, just to reduce it to Pt to use it in ethanol when Chloroplatinic acid can be reduced by NaBH4 to active Pt in ethanol, skipping the +500C kiln oven prep.
Hydrogenation is also fun because these reductions can be done on the imine from glycine and (insert favorite flavor here)p2p without affecting the carboxylic acid. Decarb or let your body do it for you.
