A novel Ru‐Fe‐B/ZrO2 catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene was prepared by the chemical reduction method. A yield of cyclohexene of 57.3% was achieved at benzene conversion of 80.6% on this catalyst. The activity and yield of cyclohexene were higher than those studied pr...
