Interfacially Modified Si-Pd/Carbon Catalyst for Selective Pulegone (C=C bond) Hydrogenation to Menthone-Isomenthone

Chem. Commun., 2026, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5CC06835E, Communication Prashant Kumar, Priyabrat Mohapatra, Chandan S Chanotiya, Bhavana R. Shivankar, Andrew Hung, Ylias Mohammad Sabri, Prasanta K Rout Chemoselective pulegone hydrogenation over Si-Pd/C affords 97.6% menthone-isomenthone yield at low H2 pressure (10 psi), driven by Si-Pd interfacial synergism. The catalyst maintains >96% activity after five consecutive cycles, providing...
