The enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate, trifluoroacetophenone, and tiglic acid has been studied over cinchonidine-modified Pt/alumina or Pd/alumina catalysts.In situmeasurement of the catalyst potential during reaction, cyclic voltammetric, and FTIR studies were used to elucidate the n...
