Abstrakt: 1.The rate of hydrogenation of cresol, alkylanillnes, aminophenols, and alkoxyanilines on Ru-Al2O3 in aqueous medium is 1.5–5 times as high as in ethanol. The reaction rate decreases in the series p- > m- > o-, as well as with increasing size of the alkyl substituent (C1-C6) and the introduction of alkyl and acetyl substituents into the amino group.2.Alkylanilines, aminophenols, phenylenediamines, and N-acetyltoluidines are hydrogenated with high selectivity; the yield of the basic product reaches 82–98%.3.In the case of hydrogenation of disubstituted benzenes under the investigated conditions, the composition of the stereoisomers formed is not determined by their thermodynamic stability — in all cases the cis-isomer predominates.
