Notes:
Abstract Mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic rings is discussed. The kinetic coupling concept is considered, which implies that a surface intermediate would be continuously “pumped down” from the equilibrium concentration level by the extremely fast subsequent step. It is demonstrated that due to thermodynamic constrains, the intermediate formation of cyclohexadiene is forbidden.
