Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of styrene oxide to 2-phenyl ethanol (β-Phenethyl alcohol) has been investigated using different catalysts and supports. The effect of reaction conditions such as H2 pressure, agitation speed, concentration of substrate and temperature on the initial rate of reaction was investigated. The complete conversion of styrene oxide was obtained using 1% Pd/C, as a catalyst, under milder temperature (313K) and pressure (2.048 MPa) conditions. 2-phenyl ethanol was selectively formed when alkali was used as a promoter. A plausible mechanistic pathway has also been proposed for the hydrogenation of the styrene oxide to 2-phenyl ethanol.
