20. 1-Phenylethanol was not detected in the hydrogenation of acetophenone with hydrogen (1 atm) and 1 (4.0 mol % of Ru) at 80 °C in 10 h.
21. Ruthenium was not detected in the product obtained from the tenth use by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis. The yields in the reuse are following: (1) >99%; (2) >99%; (3) 98%; (4) 99%; (5) >99%; (6) 97%; (7) 96%; (8) 97%; (9) 97%.
22. More than four peaks were observed, but the production of octyl octanoate was negligible.
