1. Care should be taken never to expose Raney nickel to air. 2. The isomaltulose is then hydrogenated, using a Raney nickel catalyst. 3. Macroscopically, Raney nickel is a finely divided gray powder. 4. Raney nickel is typically supplied as a 50 % slurry in water.5. This is now a common alloy composition for modern Raney nickel catalysts. 6. Benzene is routinely reduced to cyclohexane using Raney nickel for the production of nylon. 7. The reductive agent is hydrogen, and Raney nickel is used as a catalyst. 8. Likewise, Raney nickel will remove the sulfur of thiophene to give a saturated alkane. 9. Care should be taken when handling these raw materials during laboratory preparation of Raney nickel . 10. An alternative way of preparing enantioselective Raney nickel has been devised by surface adsorption of tartaric acid.
