Abstract
A catalyst, method of using, and use of a hydrogenation catalyst, preferably palladium on a support, preferably alumina or activated charcoal support. This in the presence of lithium salts, with salts such as the borates being preferred. This provides hydrogenation of precursors to give rise to a stereoselective, such as diastereoselective bias in the product of alkene hydrogenation using the catalyst.This equation, using the preferred substrate, best illustrates the invention:
