Continuous platinum-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation in ‘supercritical’ solvents

Abstract

Hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate in ‘supercritical’ ethane in a fixed bed reactor over cinchona-modified Pt/Al2O3 affords good ee at an exceptionally high rate, whereas in carbon dioxide the catalytic performance under similar conditions is inferior.
