PROCESS FOR PRODUCING 1,3-PROPANEDIOL AND 1,3-PROPANEDIOL OBTAINED BY THE SAME PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient process for producing 1,3-propanediol by hydrolyzing a 3-alkoxy-1-propanol.;SOLUTION: The process for production is carried out as follows. An ether alcohol compound represented by general formula (R denotes a 1-10C alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or an aryl group, with the proviso that R has no hydroxy group) is hydrolyzed in the presence of at least one kind of acid catalyst under temperature conditions of 200°C.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
