PROCESS FOR PRODUCING 1-(4-ISOBUTYLPHENYL)ETHANOL BY HYDROGENATION OF 1-(4-ISOBUTYL-PHENYL)ETHANONE IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST COMPOSITION COMPRISING COPPER

摘要

Described is a process for producing 1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanol by reacting 1-(4-isobutyl- phenyl)ethanone with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising cop- per and one or more metals other than copper, and a use of a respective composition and/or of a pre-composition, the pre-composition comprising a mixture of oxides of copper and oxides of one or more metals other than copper, in a catalytic hydrogenation process for producing 1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanol from 1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanone.
