    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing optionally alkyl-substituted 1,4-butanediol by two-stage catalytic hydrogenation in the gas phase of C 4 -dicarboxylic acids and/or of derivatives thereof having the following steps: a) introducing a gas stream of a C 4 -dicarboxylic acid or of a derivative thereof at from 200 to 300° C. and from 2 to 60 bar into a first reactor and catalytically hydrogenating it to a product which contains mainly optionally alkyl-substituted gamma-butyrolactone; b) converting the product stream into the liquid phase; c) introducing the product stream obtained in this way into a second reactor at a temperature of from 100° C. to 240° C. and a pressure of from 20 to 250 bar and catalytically hydrogenating it in the liquid phase to optionally alkyl-substituted 1,4-butanediol; d) removing the desired product from by-products and any unconverted reactants; e) optionally recycling unconverted intermediates into one or both hydrogenation stages, said hydrogenation stages both using a catalyst which comprises =5% by weight, preferably from 5 to 95% by weight, in particular from 20 to 90% by weight, of a support, said second reactor having a higher pressure than said first reactor, and the product mixture removed from said first reactor being introduced without further purification into said second reactor.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing optionally akyl-substituted 1,4-butandiol by two-stage catalytic hydration in the gaseous phase of C4 dicarboxylic acids and/or the derivatives thereof with the steps of: a) introducing a gaseous flow of a C4 dicarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof at 200 to 300 °C and 2 to 60 bar in a first reactor and catalytic gas phase hydration to a mainly optionally alkyl-substituted gamma-butyrolactone containing product; b) introducing the product flow so obtained into a second reactor at a temperature of from 150 °C to 240 °C and a pressure of from 15 to 100 bar and catalytic gas phase hydration to optionally alkyl-substituted 1,4-butandiol; c) removing the desired product from the intermediates, byproducts and possibly not reacted educt; d) optionally returning non-reacted intermediates to one or both hydration stages, whereby in both hydration stages one catalyst each is used which comprises = 5 % by weight, preferably 5 to 95 % by weight, especially 20 to 90 % by weight of an oxidic carrier, the pressure prevailing in the second reactor is higher than in the first reactor, and the product mixture removed from the first reactor is introduced into the second reactor without further purifying it.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the gas phase hydrogenation of C4 dicarboxylic acids and/or derivatives thereof to give optionally substituted gamma -butyrolactone and/or tetrahydrofuran on a catalyst, based on copper oxide, comprising a first reaction zone, in which the C4 dicarboxylic acid and/or derivatives thereof react to give a mixture mainly containing optionally substituted gamma -butyrolactone and a second zone connected thereto in which the optionally substituted gamma -butyrolactone contained in the mixture from the first hydrogenation stage is reacted to give optionally substituted tetrahydrofuran at a temperature which is lower than the temperature in the first hydrogenation step.
