Ru-Sn/Al2O3 catalyst was found to be active for hydrogenation -COOH group to give cinnamyl alcohol. The selectivity to cinnamyl alcohol was low (15 \%) as absolute inhibition of C=C bond hydrogenation in cinnamic acid is challenging. 5 \%Pd/C catalyst was found to hydrogenate C=C bond and aromatic ring in cinnamic acid. 5 \%Ru/C catalyst was found to be least selective catalyst as it hydrogenated C=C bond, aromatic ring and -COOH group in cinnamic acid. Hydrogenation of salicylic acid is not possible at 493 K as decarboxylation of salicylic acid occurs.</span></p>},
