Key Points

To explore the role of water in enhancing the hydrogenation of C=C bonds using a bifunctional catalyst.
Utilized a bifunctional metal-acid catalyst in hydrogenation reactions.
Investigated the effects of water on the catalytic process.
Analyzed the hydrogenation efficiency for C=C bonds and polar functional groups.
Water significantly enhances the hydrogenation process for C=C bonds.
Proton shuttling is effective in promoting reactions that are traditionally challenging.

Abstract

Water-assisted proton shuttling can promote hydrogenation of polar functional groups, and it is generally believed that such an effect can be hardly applied to hydrogenation of C=C bonds due to...
