Abstract:
Selective hydrogenation of citral has been studied under mild conditions over Ru catalysts
supported on activated carbon. Geraniol, nerol, citronellal and isopulegol were the main reac-
tion products. Isopulegol is obtained by isomerization of citronellal. Small amounts of citronel-
lol are formed through the hydrogenation of citronellal. The specific catalytic activity per Ru
surface atom as well as the products distribution remains constant with changing metal particle
size. A comparison with results obtained on the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde on the
same Ru/ C catalysts is reported.
