A methodology for the reduction of benzene to cyclohexane was attempted using atmospheric pressure hydrogenation in an open system. The procedure was carried out by bubbling hydrogen gas through a benzene solution containing 5.0 g of Raney nickel at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Stirring was maintained at 800 rpm for 12 hours. No significant conversion was observed based on gas chromatography analysis, and benzene remained the major component in the reaction mixture. This result confirms that elevated temperature and high pressure are required for effective hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane.
