Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen and an element or compound, ordinarily in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction may be one in which hydrogen simply adds to a double ...

The fundamental process of hydrogenation has been used as an organic chemical reaction to add hydrogen gas to a compound for various applications. While this process occurs usually in the presence of ...

Despite natural evidence indicating sulfur's importance and efficiency as a catalyst for critical redox reactions, including hydrogenation (addition of hydrogen to molecule) and dehydrogenation (its ...

Scientists succeed in using bacteria and discarded bread to replace fossil fuels in an innovative sustainable industrial ...

When it comes to catalytic activity, more isn’t always better. Overly active catalysts may be hard to control; finding the sweet spot can be tricky. That job may be easier now thanks to a study ...

Bacteria munching on waste bread release hydrogen that could run chemical reactions, providing a carbon-negative way to ...

The humble breadcrumb could hold the key to cutting out fossil fuels from one of the chemical industry's most widely used reactions, according to a new study. Scientists have found a one-pot microbial ...

Asymmetric hydrogenation, wherein a double bond is reduced using molecular hydrogen, is a popular way to add a stereocenter to a molecule. But asymmetric hydrogenation tends to break oximes’ N–O bonds ...

Chances are you’ll eat something hydrogenated today. What does that mean? We’ll give you a quick tour of what hydrogenation is, how it’s done, and why many people don’t like it. To hydrogenate ...
