In the series of studied Pd/C catalysts, the highest selectivity for benzyl alcohol formation with complete conversion of benzaldehyde was demonstrated by the sample containing 1% palladium supported on carbon nanotubes when the reaction was carried out at 40 °C and 0.5 MPa. The 0.3% Pd/C catalysts have low activity. Increasing the palladium content and raising the reaction temperature leads to an increase in the toluene fraction in the reaction products.
