N2 - TiO2-supported Re, Re/TiO2, was found to promote selective hydrogenation of carboxylic acids having aromatic and aliphatic moieties to the corresponding alcohols. Re/TiO2showed superior results compared to other transition-metal-loaded TiO2and supported Re catalysts for selective hydrogenation of 3-phenylpropionic acid. 3-phenylpropanol was produced in 97 % yield under mild conditions (5 MPa H2at 140 °C). Contrary to typical heterogeneous catalysts, Re/TiO2does not lead to the formation of dearomatized byproducts. The catalyst is recyclable and shows a wide substrate scope in the synthesis of alcohols (22 examples; up to 97 % isolated yield).
