TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Catalyst: The catalyst is palladium (as particles, supported on carbon, supported on alumina, supported on silica, as slurry in solvent, fluidized bed, packed bed or carboxylate) (preferably palladium carboxylate dissolved in acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and/or water, or product resulting from the reaction of palladium carboxylate with acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and/or water). The reducing agent is lithium borohydride, sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride, magnesium hydride, lithium hydride, calcium hydride or electron plus proton.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: The process produces hydrogen and X=C(R1)X'R2. (P1) further involves dissolving an organic compound in a solvent to stabilize the organic compound and reaction product derived. The organic compound is chosen so that the change in the standard free energy of the chemical reaction is +5 - -10 kilocalaries per mole; and is a single molecule. Q group stabilizes the chemical compound from eliminating ZH.Preferred Components: The acid is alcohol, phenol, HX or HTX.X = chloride, bromide, iodide, carboxylate, sulfonate, phosphate, phosphonate, sulfate or hydroxide;andT = imidazole, alkylimidazole, arylimidazole, benzimidazole, alkylbenzimidazole, oxazole, alkyloxazole, benzoxazole, pyrazole, alkylpyrazole, arylpyrazole, pyridine, alkylpyridine, arylpyridine, quinoline, ammonia or amine. EXAMPLE - A solution of 2-(1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-benzoic acid (9 mg) (a1) in CD3CN (0.7 ml) was prepared. Palladium acetate (Pd(O2CCH3)2; 1 mg) was added, after mixing a black precipitate was formed and effervescence were observed. The mixture was then heated to 70degreesC for 3o minutes to give dehydrogenated (a1) (90%). The evolution of molecular hydrogen form (a1) was confirmed by catalytic hydrogenation of trans-stilbene with the hydrogen evolved from (a1). A flask was charged with (a1) (50 mg), Pd(O2CCH3)2 (3 mg) in acetonitrile. A separate flask was charged with trans-stilbene (34 mg) and 10% Pd on carbon (20 mg) in benzene. The headspaces of the two flasks were immediately connected with transfer tube. After 12 hours, the contents of both flasks were analyzed. Complete conversion of compound (a1) was observed for the first flask and hydrogenation of trans-stilbene was 47% complete, confirming the evolution of hydrogen from (a1).
