摘要
Ru-B/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by reductant impregnation method,which was applied in the selective hydrogenation of ethyl 1H-indole-2-carboxylate for producing ethyl 2,3,3a,7a-tetrahydro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate with hydrogen as reductant.Furthermore,we discussed the influences of substrate concentration,reaction solvent,hydrogenation temperature,initial hydrogen pressure and reaction time on the catalytic performance of the as-prepared catalyst.The obtained Ru-B/γ-Al2O3 catalyst showed a high-efficiency for the selective hydrogenation of ethyl 1H-indole-2-carboxylate（＞99％ conversion and selectivity） in i-propanol used as solvent at a concentration of 10％（mass fraction） of ethyl 1H-indole-2-carboxylate,a pressure of hydrogen of 6 MPa and a reaction temperature of 373 K.
