RANEY NICKLE

Product Usage : Raney nickel is a solid catalyst composed of fine grains of a nickel-aluminium alloy. It is used in industrial processes and in organic synthesis because of its stability and high catalytic activity at room temperature. Raney nickel can be used for the hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes. It is mostly used for its unusual property of reducing C-S bonds to C-H bonds. Raney nickel also has the ability to catalyze certain desulfurization reactions. For example, hydrocarbons can be obtained from the reduction of thioacetal with the help of Raney nickel.
