The hydrogenation of five representative alkenes (cis-cyclooctene, 4-phenyl-1-butene, trans-4-octene, 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene and 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene) has been investigated using palladium nanoparticles on porous polycarbonate membranes. These palladium nanoparticles are prepared using a novel, green process. The hydrogenation reaction has been studied in solution with three solvents: ethanol, methanol and hexane under 1 atm of hydrogen gas.
