Abstract

{The efficiency and the chemo- and stereoselectivity of the RhCl3- and [RhCl(diene)](2)-catalyzed hydrogenation of 4-propylphenols (used as lignin model compounds) in aqueous/organic media are dependent on the alkyl chain-length of the phase transfer co-catalyst tetraalkylammonium salt R4NX (R = alkyl
