Layered double hydroxides supported nano palladium: An efficient catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenation of olefinic bonds

Chemoselective hydrogenation of olefinic double bonds in the presence of various functional groups using layered double hydroxides supported nanopalladium (LDH-Pd0) catalyst is described. LDH-Pd0 was recovered quantitatively by simple filtration and reused several times with consistent activity and selectivity.
