Abstract
Abstract A process is described whereby a diolefin is selectively hydrogenated to an olefin in the presence of a palladium base catalyst by adding to the reaction mixture an aqueous solution of a zinc salt such as zinc acetate wherein the ratio of water/zinc is at least 1/1 by weight.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A PROCESS OF HYDROGENATING A CYCLIC HYDROCARBON DIOLEFIN BY CONTACTING SAID CYCLIC DIOLEFIN WITH HYDROGEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A PALLADIUM BASE CATALYST, WHEREIN THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES INCREASING THE SELECTIVITY OF THE HYDROGENATION OF SAID CYCLIC HYDROCARBON DIOLEFIN TO CYCLIC HYDROCARBON OLEFIN BY ADDING TO THE HYDROGENATION MIXTURE AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A ZINC SALT HAVING A RATIO OF WATER/ZINC OF AT LEAST 1/1 BY WEIGHT.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
