Process for the preparation of a tetraalkylcyclobutane-1,3-diol using a promoted nickel-based catalyst

摘要

The present invention relates to the production of a 2,2,4,4-tetraalkylcyclobutane-1,3-diol. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to the production of a 2,2,4,4-tetraalkylcyclobutane-1,3-diol by hydrogenation of a 2,2,4,4-tetraalkylcyclobutane-1,3-dione in the presence of a promoted nickel-based catalyst.
