References
No attempt is made here to list the hundreds of references to the Parr Hydrogenator which have
appeared in chemical literature since Dr. Roger Adams published his first paper describing an
apparatus of this kind in 1922. More than five hundred literature references are cited in Augustine’s
book on Catalytic Hydrogenation that is listed below. Additional references can be obtained from other
books in this list. Among these, the books by Augustine, Freifelder and Rylander will be particularly
helpful to those users who want additional information regarding hydrogenation techniques, catalysts
and procedures for treating specific functional groups. The following references are therefore highly
recommended:
• R. L. Augustine, Catalytic Hydrogenation, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York (1965).
• Morris Friefelder, Practical Catalytic Hydrogenation, Wiley Interscience Division of John Wiley
& Sons, Inc., New York (1971).
• Gilman-Blatt, Organic Synthesis, Collective Volume 1, p. 65, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York
(1948).
• H. W. Lohse, Catalytic Chemistry, Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York (1945).
• Paul N. Rylander, Catalytic Hydrogenation Over Platinum Metals, Academic Press, New York (1967).
• Paul N. Rylander, Catalytic Hydrogenation in Organic Synthesis, Academic Press, New York (1979).
• Biennial conferences held by the Organic Reactors Catalysis Society (ORCS)
) in
even-numbered years starting in 1966 have produced excellent collections of papers under the
general title, Catalytic Hydrogenation and Analogous Pressure Reactions. The initial set is
published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Vol. 145, Art. 1, pp. 1-206 (1967).
Papers presented at conferences held in more recent years are published by CRC Press, Boca
Raton, FL, under the general title, Catalysis of Organic Reactions.
