As many of your have noticed, there's been some software upheaval behind the scenes here the last few days. Many comments aren't getting through at all, and the others are showing up in the system, but not on the public site. Hammers and screwdrivers are being wielded, and I hope things are fixed up soon. . .
I have one quetion: In the case of hydrogenation of cc double bond system (e.g. ethene to ethane) and N-O (e.g. nitro to amino transition), which reaction is much efficient if they carry out under same conditions?

hammers and sickles can be wielded also (with the against-the-wall lineup fix)
