Catalytic Hydrogenation means   H2/Ni .... or H2/Pd      not LiAlH4

Hi ramkumar,
 
Yaar, LiAlH4 does the same work yet more effciently. its reduces [ i.e adds H2 ] to the compound.
 
its given in NCERT.

My birthday is no ordinary day.

Its the day when i declared in my own voice,

I WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT,
I WILL NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT,
I AM GOING TO LIVE ON,
I AM GOING TO SURVIVE,
I AM GOING TO GET WHATEVER I WANT.

I CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY, AS MY INDEPENDENCE DAY !!!!!!!!!

i know LiAlH4 reduces more efficiently.......... but i want to know the reason why H2/Ni will not reduce it when it can reduce double bond effectively.........
