Abstract
Heterogenous catalysis is an interesting alternative for the selective reduction of ±,²-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Recent study shows the eficiency and selectivity of the reduction of crotonaldehyde to crotyl alcohol when using CeO2 nanorods, and the adsoption of different ±,²-unsaturated compounds on CeO2 has already been reported in literature. Thus, nanorods of this non-stoichiome…
