A new efficient catalyst for a-olefin hydrogenation, a reaction of importance to synthetic fuels preparation, that exhibits the catalytic activity without additional treatment with a reducing agent is obtained by the interaction of PtCl{sub 4} with tri-n-octylamine. Molecular hydrogen and ethanol are found to promote the catalytically active complex. On the basis of the IR spectroscopic investigation, a likely structure of the synthesized complex is proposed. A highly active heterogenized platinum-containing catalyst for the hydrogenation of terminal double bonds is prepared by supporting a homogeneous system on {gamma}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}.
