| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for hydrogenation of an organic compound comprising at least one carbonyl group, whereby the organic compound is brought into contact with a moulded body in the presence of hydrogen. Said body may be produced by a method in which i) an oxidic material is prepared, comprising copper oxide, aluminium oxide, and iron oxide, followed by ii) addition of powdered metallic copper, copper platelets, powdered cement, graphite, or a mixture thereof to the oxidic material and iii) moulding the mixture from (ii) to give a moulded body. |
