We examine the easy preparation of mono- and bi-metallic heterogeneous catalysts with low Pd and Cu contents on alumina and provide a detailed study of many reaction parameters in the catalyzed selective semihydrogenation of 3-hexyn-1-ol to (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, a very important fragrance with an herbaceous note. In particular, two different protocols of Pd catalyst preparation, substrate/catalyst molar ratio, the effect of time and temperature, introduction of some additives to the reaction mixture, and the nature of the solvent were investigated. These factors are not independent variables. The results show that it is possible to control the reaction outcome to obtain the target (Z)-alkenol using different experimental conditions. The best result, as an appropriate compromise between conversion and selectivity, may be obtained by working with a very high substrate/catalyst molar ratio (>6000/1), with one type of Pd catalyst, in a short time (about 150 min) at 60 °C.
