SiliaCat Pd0 solid catalyst heterogeneously mediates at room temperature the selective hydrogenation of a wide variety of alkenes under hydrogen balloon conditions using a modest 0.1 mol % catalyst amount. The catalyst is recyclable with negligible leaching of valued palladium, providing the chemical industry with a suitable replacement for less selective metal-based catalysts.
