摘要

A liquid phase process for the hydrogenolysis of acetals or ketals of organic hydrocarbons to produce the corresponding ethers, alcohols or hydroxyethers, in the presence of a catalyst, whose process is characterized by: Mixing and reacting the acetal or ketal with hydrogen at a temperature comprised between about -15ºC and 125ºC and at a pressure of about 50 to about 2000 psia (3.5 to 140 kg/cm2 absolute), in the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst consisting essentially of: (1) a halide of an element of group iii a and (2) a hydrogenation catalyst of platinum or rhodium on support or a combination of both.
