METHOD FOR PRODUCING CYCLOBUTANONE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing cyclobutanone from cyclopropylmethanol in high space time yield with minimized waste disposal load. SOLUTION: Cyclobutanone is produced by isomerizing cyclopropylmethanol to cyclobutanol in the presence of an acidic heterogeneous catalyst and dehydrogenating the cyclobutanol with a heterogeneous catalyst.
