3,4-Dimethoxybenzhydrol is a hydrogenation catalyst that has been used industrially for the production of 2-propanol and methanol. This compound catalyzes the conversion of tetrahydrofuran to benzophenone and ethanol to 2-propanol. The selectivity of this catalyst can be influenced by the use of a liquid phase or slurry reactor. Kinetics studies have been carried out on this catalyst in both reactors.
