VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON CYCLOHEXANDERIVATEN

摘要

Cyclohexane derivatives such as cyclohexanol and cyclohexyl carboxylates are produced directly from aromatic hydrocarbons. The reaction may be carried out, under hydrogenation conditions, by reacting an aromatic hydrocarbon with hydrogen and a reagent selected from the group consisting of water, and carboxylic acids in the presence of a strong acid and a hydrogenation catalyst.
