Abstract

Ruthenium acetylacetonate and aminophosphine ligand were selected as the catalyst system and applied to the catalytic hydrogenation of dimethyl malonate into methyl 3-hydroxypropanoate. With the focus on the catalytic efficiency, the important factors with significant influences on the dimethyl malonate conversion and methyl 3-hydroxypropanoate selectivity were well discussed, including the structure and dosage of the ligand, temperature, reaction time, solvent, and so on. The results revealed that catalyst system of ruthenium acetylacetonate and o-(diphenylphosphino)aniline ligand could obtain significant catalytic results. Under the optimal reaction conditions, this catalyst system can also be applied to catalytic hydrogenation of some other esters with high efficiency.
