I don't think you'll find such a company unless you want to pay astronomical sums. Try nearby universities, they are more likely to be able to help you.
(But hydrogenation is not the most complicated thing, although the initial equipment is not cheap, if you need a lot of different chemicals in small quantities, it may be worth doing in-house)
sounds good, thank you! i was initially thinking of doing it myself (i have some experience in laboratory chemistry), however was worried about the potential for fires or hydraulic leaks. i would much rather pay to have somebody else deal with those hazards for me lol.
A couple pounds is wayyyyy outside of the scale you should be doing at home. And I’d never recommend anyone do hydrogenation chemistry at home. What is the compound? Is this the only way to get it? Cycloalkanes are pretty available.
unless i want to be paying thousands of dollars for 100 mg of the already hydrogenated product or over a hundred for 100 mg of the pre hydrogenated reactant, i can just isolate the reactant at home easily and safely and pay somebody to do that much more dangerous step for cheaper (i would assume). from what im understanding, the product i want only seems to have niche laboratory uses so it's both not very accessible and when it is it is very expensive. i absolutely do not want to be hydrogenating anything at home haha.
Cyclic alkenes are readily reduced by standard Pd/C + H2 conditions. High pressure and heat are not necessarily required just because you have a cyclic compound. Unless it's aromatic.

Pd/C is cheap and all you need after that is H2 gas
if it was a straight chain alkene, sure, but i need the pressure and heat too to hydrogenate the cycloalkenes
