Hydrogenation of olefins with miscellaneous water-soluble catalysts without phosphine ligands

2 Hydrogenation of olefins with miscellaneous water-soluble catalysts without phosphine ligands 

Although the most versatile hydrogenation catalysts are based on tertiary phosphines there is a continuous effort to use transition metal complexes with other type of ligands as catalysts in aqueous systems some of these are listed in Table 3.3.
