Hydrogenation of hop acids

Hop acids are hydrogenated by mixing hydrogen and a solution of hop acids in super-critical carbon dioxide and bringing the mixture into contact with a noble metal catalyst. Typically, the hydrogenation is used to convert iso-α-acids to tetrahydroiso-α-acids, for which palladium is especially suitab...

Summary:Hop acids are hydrogenated by mixing hydrogen and a solution of hop acids in super-critical carbon dioxide and bringing the mixture into contact with a noble metal catalyst. Typically, the hydrogenation is used to convert iso-α-acids to tetrahydroiso-α-acids, for which palladium is especially suitable as catalyst.
