Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated organic acids in methanol and their sodium salts in water was studied at 20 °C and atmospheric pressure of hydrogen using a catalyst of 3% Pd on activated carbon. The effect of the structure of the acids and salts on the hydrogenation rates is discussed.
