How much compound can be reduced on one catalyst column?
It depends on the type and the molecular weight of the compound. Also, the lifetime of the catalyst is affected by polarity, molecular weight, purity, solvent and types of functional groups, e.g. sulphur groups which may poison the catalyst. With the shortest column, on average, at least 500 mg is reduced, but we have reduced up to 10 g of certain compounds without any catalyst deactivation.
