A golden opportunity: Chemoselective reactivity for the hydrogenation of acetone and propionaldehyde on H-covered gold is described. Propionaldehyde forms 1-propanol, whereas no hydrogenated product is detected from the interaction between acetone and hydrogen. Dissimilar energetic barriers and the polymerization of CH3CH2CHO are the basis of the chemoselective activity.
