HyMax 200 R Hydrogenation Oxoalcohol Synthesis
HyMax 200 R i-Dec is a reduced copper chromite catalyst in tablet form, used in oxo alcohol synthesis for the hydrogenation of aldehydes.
The hydrogenation of carbonyl groups refers to the chemical process in which hydrogen (H₂) is added to a carbonyl group (-CHO) in the presence of a nickel catalyst. This converts a carbonyl group into an alcohol group (-OH). Our catalysts are able to selectively promote hydrogenation at the carbonyl group.
The hydrogenation of carbonyl groups is a common step in organic synthesis and plays an important role in the production of alcohols from aldehydes or ketones.
The hydrogenation catalyst efficiently removes the remaining carbonyl compounds from the feed. This process is called “polishing” and it allows for the production of high-quality products.
