Accordingly, a hypothetical performance pr<strong>of</strong>ile can bedrawn which reflects an ideal catalyst revealing highest activity in C=C-double bondhydrogenation and zero activity in the hydrogenolysis as shown in Figure 3. Now,the pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> the real catalysts shown in Fig. 2 can be compared with the hypotheticalideal pr<strong>of</strong>ile based on statistical similarity analysis. Those Pd catalystsshowing most similar pr<strong>of</strong>iles with respect to the hypothetical pr<strong>of</strong>ile should be thepreferable catalysts for selective hydrogenation <strong>of</strong> the hydroxy-olefin.
