2‐Ethyl‐2‐hexenal was hydrogenated over Raney Nickel and nickel boride in a batch slurry reactor. Using Raney Nickel, the reaction went to completion, and the formation of both 2‐ethylhexanal and 2‐ethylhexanol followed zero order kinetics. Using nickel boride, the reaction ceased at the saturated aldehyde, with saturation of the double bond a zero order reaction. Unsaturated alcohol was not detected in any of the reaction mixtures.
