METHOD FOR PRODUCING MEDIUM-CHAIN ALIPHATIC ALCOHOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the industrially advantageous production of a 6-10C medium-chain aliphatic alcohol by the hydrogenative reduction of a 6-10C medium-chain aliphatic carboxylic acid methyl ester in the presence of a chromium-free catalyst. SOLUTION: A 6-10C medium-chain aliphatic alcohol is produced by the hydrogenative reduction of a 6-10C medium-chain aliphatic carboxylic acid methyl ester in a suspension bed bubble column reactor in the presence of a copper-zinc oxide catalyst and/or a copper-zinc-aluminum oxide catalyst.
