Abstract
Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine (HEH), a well-known model compound of coenzyme NAD(P)H was found as an efficient reducing agent in hydrogenation of unactivated olefins catalyzed by Pd/C. α,β-Unsaturated ketones also underwent hydrogenation, affording the corresponding saturated ketones selectively.
