Continuous Flow Hydrogenation using Polysilane-Supported Palladium/Alumina Hybrid Catalysts

Abstract
The original Pd/(PSi-Al(2)O(3)) catalysts were used successfully in these systems and the hydrogenation of unsaturated C-C bonds and a nitro group, deprotection of a carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) group, and a dehalogenation reaction proceeded smoothly. The catalyst retained high activity for at least 8 h under neat conditions.
