URUSHIBARA NICKEL 1
Use of Raney nickel results in an equimolar mixture of the two

occur with aryl-substituted compounds, giving the corresponding

Urushibara Catalysts. The Urushibara catalysts are a Reductive Desulfurizations. Urushibara catalysts, specif-
family of precipitated metal catalysts that have been compared to ically U-Ni-A, have been used in desulfurizations of sulfur-
the more common Raney Nickel catalysts. Although the two can containing compounds such as thiols, sulfides, disulfides, and
catalyze many of the same reactions, Urushibara metals offer sev- thioacetals without competing reduction of alkenes. Reductive
eral advantages: they are nonpyrophoric, are easily generated, desulfurizations can be performed using Raney nickel with
have a long shelf life, and can catalyze highly regio- and stereos- comparable yields.1

Miscellaneous Reductions. Urushibara catalysts have been
Catalytic Hydrogenation of Alkynes and Alkenes. Alkenes
employed to reduce oximes, nitriles, hydroxylamines, nitro, and
and alkynes can be reduced to the corresponding alkanes
nitroso compounds. These reductions can be very dependent on
using moderate to high pressures of H2 and temperatures. In eq 1,
reaction conditions. Yields of products are generally high and
the exocyclic alkene is hydrogenated selectively with the use of
steric biasing can lead to high levels of stereocontrol.1
U-Ni-N. Longer hydrogenation times and use of other Urushibara
catalysts result in complete reduction of this substrate. The use
of Raney nickel in this example results in nonspecific reduction.2
Aromatic rings can also be saturated; however, these reactions
