Benzyl alcohol in higher than 90% yield was achieved from the hydrogenation of benzoic acid catalyzed by using a magnesium oxide‐supported poly‐γ‐aminopropylsiloxane–ruthenium–palladium–stannum trimetallic complex catalyst (MgO–NH 2 –Ru–Pd–Sn) in 1,4‐dioxane. The Ru/Pd/Sn mole ratio, reaction temperature, hydrogen gas pressure and reaction time greatly influenced the reaction. The catalyst was stable and could be used repeatedly without any remarkable changes in catalytic activity. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
