Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing caprolactone, comprising converting 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuraldehyde by hydrogenation into at least one intermediate compound selected from the group of 2,5-tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol, 1,6-hexanediol and 1,2,6-hexanetriol, and preparing caprolactone from said intermediate compound.Further, the invention relates to a method for preparing 1,2,6-hexanetriol comprising preparing 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfaldehyde from a renewable source, converting 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfaldehyde into 2,5-tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol and converting 2,5-tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol into 1,2,6-hexanetriol.Further, the invention relates to a method for preparing 1,6-hexanediol from 1,2,6-hexanetriol, wherein 1,2,6-hexanetriol is subjected to a ring closure reaction, thereby forming (tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)methanol, and the (tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)methanol is hydrogenated, thereby forming 1,6-hexane diol.
