A recent report [ 1] shows ethanol has been studied, first in scoping runs with a that a homogeneous ruthenium complex catalyzed the commercial catalyst and then with a Degussa H10167 hydrogenation of activated esters but the hydrogenation of copper chromite catalyst. Both catalysts exhibit good sta- ethyl acetate was very slow while aromatic esters were not bility with the Degussa catalyst maintaining c
