Selective hydrogenation of carvone and o-xylene (cis-trans) on Pd/Y exchanged zeolites
o-Xylene and carvone hydrogenation on supported Pd on exchanged Y-zeolites was done. A controlled selectivity of hydrogen stereoaddition (cis- and trans-) in o-xylene and a large control of the multiple hydrogen addition in carvone were obtained. These effects were achieved by controlling the exchanged Y zeolites acidity.
