Abstract
This invention relates to catalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds containing carbonyl groups, and, particularly, to the effective and rapid reduction of the carbonyl group to the corresponding hydroxy group, sometimes even very selectively in the presence of a carbon-to-carbon unsaturated group in the same compound, using as a hydrogenation catalyst Raney nickel having molybdenum adsorbed thereon.
