Searching for a Green Hydrogenolysis Catalyst

This paper is an overview of the scientific results that have been achieved during the development of a sustaina-ble hydrogenolysis catalyst. The paper describes the ef-fects of various synthesis methods and their parameters, as well as the effect of diverse promoters and supports on the catalyst structure, activity and selectivity in the hydrogen-olysis of dimethyl adipate. From the green chemistry point of view, a suitable alternative to the Adkins catalyst was found on the laboratory scale.
