METHOD FOR PRODUCING 3-BUTENE-2-OL AND 1,3-BUTADIENE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing 3-butene-2-ol and 1,3-butadiene from 2, 3-butanediol at a high selectivity without using radioactive substances.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for producing 3-butene-2-ol in which 2, 3-butanediol is dewatered using at least one kind selected from a group consisting of zirconium oxide, a zirconium oxide-alkali metal compound complex and zirconium-alkaline-earth metallic compound complex as a catalyst.
