The comparison of catalyzed and uncatalyzed thermal gas‐phase reactions of model organic compounds showed that reactions in the presence of Raney nickel proceed at appreciably lower temperature with remarkable selectivity. For example, 2‐propanol is dehydrogenated to acetone on quartz wool only at 970 K, whereas on Raney nickel it is fifty percent converted already at room temperature and 10 −2 mbar.
