Flüssigphase katalytisches Hydrierungsverfahren zur Umwandlung von Aldehyden in die entsprechenden Alkohole

摘要

A heterogeneous liquid-phase process for the hydrogenation of aldehydes of Formula (I) and (III) to the corresponding alcohols of Formula (II) and (IV) which process comprises contacting alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solution of aldehydes and hydrogen gas with a catalyst comprising a reduced mixture of CuO and ZnO in presence of a metal of Group IIIA of the Periodic Table, such as aluminium, as a promoter at a temperature of between about 110 DEG and 180 DEG C and a pressure of between about 20 and 500 psig.
