Comparative study of catalytic and electrocatalytic hydrogenation of benzophenone

Catalytic and electrocatalytic hydrogenation of benzophenone was performed in aqueous ethanol onto 10% (w/w) Pd-alumina supported catalyst and finely divided Pd catalyst. Efficiency of catalytic and electrocatalytic hydrogenation of the studied ketone is discussed here as a comparative study. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
