Hydrogenation of benzoic acid derivatives over Pt/TiO2 under mild conditions

Dearomative hydrogenation of benzoic acid and its derivatives is challenging to achieve selectively. Here, a highly active Pt/TiO2 catalyst which works in the presence of common catalyst poisons, including bi- and tri-benzoic acids, is described.
