a suitable category name for this post would be “Redox Reactions with Hydrogenation Catalysts”.

Reducing 3-pentanone with hydrogen in the presence of a nickel catalyst yields 3-pentanol. This reaction is an example of a hydrogenation reaction, in which a hydrogen molecule is added to an alkene or an alkyne molecule in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst helps break the hydrogen molecule into two hydrogen atoms, which can …
