Selective hydrogenation of [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated aldehydes into allylic alcohols remains a difficult task to achieve, especially in the gas phase, when working with heterogeneous catalysts. Crotonaldehyde hydrogenation is a complex reaction that has been modeled using results from a standard gas flow system. The obtained results give rise to the formation of a reaction network and an elementary step mechanism derived from steady-state kinetics. The selectivity of the system to give crotyl alcohol is explained in terms of the surface electronic gas model.
