catalyst for catalytic hydrogenation of 1,4 - butynediol in 1,4-butanediol

摘要

A process for producing 1-4 butanediol comprising reacting 1-4 butynediol with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst comprising ruthenium and palladium in a weight ratio of about 4:1, at a temperature of from 60 DEG to 180 DEG C. and at a pressure of between 1 to 50 bars.
