Selective hydrogenation of benzyl cyanide to 2-phenylethylamine over a Pd/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst promoted by synergistic effects of CO<sub>2</sub> and water
Synergistic effects of water and CO2 appear for the selective hydrogenation of benzyl cyanide to phenylethylamine in n-hexane over a Pd/Al2O3 catalyst with no catalyst deactivation.
