PROCESS FOR REACTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND CATALYST THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the obtaining of a process by which a high yield or a quantitative conversion rate can be achieved by reacting an organic compound in the presence of a catalyst containing a specific metal supported on a specified support. SOLUTION: An organic compound is reacted in the presence of a catalyst comprising (B) ruthenium alone or together with at least one group Ib, IIb or VIIIb as an active metal in an amount of 0.01-30wt.%, based on the total weight of the catalyst applied to (A) a support in which 50-90% of the pore volume of the support comprises mesepores having a pore diameter within the range of 2-50nm and the sum of the pores volumes is 100%. The reaction is preferably hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, etc., especially preferably the hydrogenation. The organic compound is low molecular weight monomers and polymeric organic compounds, etc., which can be catalytically reacted. Thereby, the reaction can be carried out at a high space velocity and an ultrahigh turnover number for a long on-stream time, and a high yield and a high purity of a hydrogenation product can be expected.
