Abstract

Ketones are converted by hydrogenation to the corresponding secondary alcohols, in the presence of a soluble catalyst which is obtained by contacting a metal compound, for example a cobalt, nickel or iron salt, with a reducing agent, preferably a trialkylaluminum compound, the reaction being carried out with added metal alcoholate, preferably an alkali metal alcoholate.
