Platinum, 10% on carbon, is used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, nitro groups, ketones and aromatics. It is also used for hydrogenolysis of cyclopropanes. It is involved in the catalyzes oxidation of alcohols.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
