Abstract

The selectivity and activity of liquid-phase hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde over 5%Ru/Y were strongly influenced by the solvent used. Other process parameters (temperature, substrate concentration and reduction mode) were also evaluated. An improved selectivity (from 30 to 70%) under optimised reaction conditions as well as higher activity were achieved.
