The hydrogenation of cinnamyl methyl ether and allylbenzene in hexane and acetone at 20 °C and atmospheric pressure of hydrogen has been studied on eight palladium catalysts. The hydrogenation of cinnamyl methyl ether is accompanied by C-O bond splitting giving rise to propylbenzene and methanol, the hydrogenation of allylbenzene is associated with the isomerization of the double bond resulting in its conjugation with the benzene ring. A marked solvent effect on the selectivity of hydrogenation of cinnamyl methyl ether has been observed and ascribed to the effect of solvated protons on the adsorbed molecules of the ether which is promoted by polar medium. The solvent effect on the isomerization of allylbenzene during the hydrogenation is little pronounced, which suggests that this reaction is not of ionic nature.
