Highly selective and efficient hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to alcohols using titania supported Pt catalysts.
Selective hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to alcohols and alkanes has been achieved under remarkably mild reaction temperatures and H(2) pressures (333 K, 0.5 MPa) using Pt/TiO(2) catalyst.
