Regioselectivity is not an issue, since the same group (a hydrogen atom) is bonded to each of the double bond carbons. Catalytic hydrogenation is a chemical reaction that adds hydrogen (h₂) to unsaturated compounds using a catalyst, typically transforming double or triple bonds into single bonds. Catalytic hydrogenation uses a metal catalyst like palladium, platinum, or nickel to add hydrogen to unsaturated organic compounds, such as alkenes or alkynes

Specifically, the catalyst facilitates the breaking of hydrogen molecules into atomic hydrogen, which then reacts with the unsaturated bonds, converting them into saturated compounds.
Catalytic hydrogenation involves the addition of molecular hydrogen (h2) across a double bond in the presence of a metal catalyst the net result of this process is to reduce an alkene to an alkane.
Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (h 2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds.
