Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition which can be used as reduction catalyst. This composition is characterized in that it comprises a support whose constituent material comprises at least one oxide chosen from oxides which are inert or capable of being made inert relative to the reaction mixture and a phase at least partially covering the said support, of which at least part comprises an intermetallic ruthenium-tin compound of composition Ru.sub.3 Sn.sub.7. The invention also describes the use of the reduction catalyst and its application to organic synthesis.
