Verfahren zur Herstellung von aromatischen Alkoholen

摘要

The invention relates to a method for selectively producing a phenylethanol of formula (1) by reacting a phenylacetic acid ester of formula (2) with hydrogen in the presence of a fixed catalyst containing one or several oxides. The radicals R and R<1 >in the formulae (1) and (2) are the same or different and mean H, OH, F, Cl, Br, I, (C1- to C20)-alkyl, (C6- to C14)-aryl, (C1- to C10)-alkoxy, (C2- to C10)-alkenyl, (C7- to C20)-arylalkyl, (C7- to C20)-alkylaryl, (C6- to C10)-aryloxy, (C1- to C10)-fluoroalkyl, (C6- to C10)-halogenaryl or (C2- to C10)-alkinyl.
