Abstract
An innovative BASF catalyst manufacturing technology (NanoSelect™) is introduced which allows production of heterogeneous catalysts with excellent control over metal crystallite sizes. NanoSelect™ technology enabled the development of Pd catalysts which are leadfree Lindlar catalyst replacements in alkyne-to-cis-alkene hydrogenations. NanoSelect™ Pt catalysts showed excellent chemoselectivity in substituted nitro-arene hydrogenation reactions without build-up of hydroxylamine intermediates. All NanoSelect™ produced catalysts show markedly higher activity per gram of metal leading to tenfold less use of precious metal. © The Author(s) 2012.
