The present invention relates to a Cu-Al-Mn shaped catalyst body in an extruded form, and a method of manufacturing the same. The formed catalyst bodies are suitable for the hydrogenation of organic compounds containing carbonyl functional groups, in particular the hydrogenation of aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids and / or their esters. In particular, the shaping catalyst may be obtained by hydrogenating a fatty acid or its ester, such as a fatty acid methyl ester, to the corresponding alcohol and dicarboxylic acid anhydride, such as maleic anhydride, or esters of diacids and dialcohols, Are suitable for forming the butanediol.
