Abstract
Methyl phenylacetate could be efficiently hydrogenated to yield 2-phenylethanol under lower hydrogen pressure (<10 atm) by using ruthenium-phosphine catalysis composed of Ru(acac) 3, P( n-C 8H 17) 3 in the presence of Zn. Effect of both phosphine and Zn plays an crucial role in order for this hydrogenation to proceed under mild conditions.
