Catalysts with high selectivity are the key to green chemistry. Polymer-supported Raney catalysts have been found to have outstanding performance in the clean preparation of some chemicals. For example, a polyamide 6-supported Raney nickel catalyst provided a 100.0% conversion of n-butyraldehyde without producing any detectable n-butyl ether, the main byproduct in industry, and eliminated the two main byproducts (isopropyl ether and methyl-iso-butylcarbinol) in the hydrogenation of acetone to isopropanol. Meanwhile, a model for how the polymer support brought about the elimination of byproducts is proposed and confirmed. In this account the preparation and applications of polymer-supported Raney catalysts along with the corresponding models will be reviewed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules21070833","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,27]],"date-time":"2016-06-27T12:56:01Z","timestamp":1467032161000},"page":"833","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Polymer-Supported Raney Nickel Catalysts for Sustainable Reduction Reactions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Haibin","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SINOPEC Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry, Beijing 100013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuliang","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SINOPEC Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry, Beijing 100013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaohong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SINOPEC Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry, Beijing 100013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SINOPEC Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry, Beijing 100013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinliang","family":"Qiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SINOPEC Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry, Beijing 100013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1764","DOI":"10.1021\/ie00096a005","article-title":"Preparation, characterization, and performance of a novel fixed-bed raney catalyst","volume":"28","author":"Cheng","year":"1989","journal-title":"Ind.
