A closer look into transfer hydrogenation between perhydro-dibenzyltoluene (H 18 -DBT) and acetone for safe hydrogen release using Pt-based catalysts
Smitkriti, Xiaolong Ji, Laurent Veyre, Antoinette Boréave, Zhigang Yan, Isabelle Pitault, Clément Camp, Valérie Meille, Chloé ThieuleuxTransfer hydrogenation between H 18 -DBT and acetone was reinvestigated, studying the reaction products, the effect of Pt nanoparticle size, support and metal loadings. Water addition was found to prevent the major side-reaction and catalyst poisoning.
