Question

Catalyst used in rosenmund's reduction is​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reaction was named after Karl Wilhelm Rosenmund, who first reported it in 1918. The reaction, a hydrogenolysis, is catalysed by palladium on barium sulfate, which is sometimes called the Rosenmund catalyst. Barium sulfate has a low surface area which reduces the activity of the palladium, preventing over-reduction.
