Effect of Supercritical CO as Reaction Medium for Selective Hydrogenation of Acetophenone to 1-Phenylethanol.

1-Phenylethanol (PhE) is widely employed in the pharmaceutical industry as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug, as well as in chewing gums and yogurts as a food additive. In this work, we have investigated the selective synthesis of 1-phenylethanol (PhE) by hydrogenation of acetophenone using supercritical CO as a solvent. Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO) replaces organic solvent because it is inexpensive, nontoxic, nonflammable, inert, and environmentally benign.
