Carbon dioxide-expanded liquid substrate phase: an effective medium for selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol.
It has been shown that CO(2)-expanded cinnamaldehyde liquid phase is a unique and effective medium for cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation to cinnamyl alcohol, due to interactions between the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O group of the substrate and CO(2) molecules and increased solubility of H(2).
