    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the gas-phase hydrogenation of C4-dicarboxylic acids and/or their derivatives over a catalyst based on copper oxide to give substituted or unsubstituted gamma-butyrolactone and/or tetrahydrofuran, which comprises, which a first reaction zone in which the C4-dicarboxylic acid and/or its derivatives is/are reacted to give a mixture comprising a substituted or unsubstituted gamma-butyrolactone as main product and a subsequent second reaction zone in which the substituted or unsubstituted gamma-butyrolactone present in the mixture from the first hydrogenation step is reacted at a temperature lower than the temperature in the first hydrogenation step to give substituted or unsubstituted tetrahydrofuran.

    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 catalyst containing silver, an alkaline-earth metal compound and a promoter consisting of a mixture of at least two compounds, said mixture containing at least one potassium compound and having a melting point below 340 DEG C. The invention also relates to a method for producing the inventive catalyst and the use of the same for the epoxidation of alkenes, especially propene.

    Abstract: A process for coproducing alkyl-substituted or unsubstituted THF and pyrrolidones by catalytically hydrogenating C 4 -dicarboxylic acids and/or derivatives thereof in the gas phase in the presence of copper catalysts and reacting GBL with ammonia or primary amines to give pyrrolidones comprises a) hydrogenating C 4 -dicarboxylic acids and/or derivatives thereof in the gas phase at from 200 to 300° C., from 0.1 to 100 bar, catalyst hourly space velocities of from 0.01 to 1 kg of reactant/l of catalyst*hour and reactant/hydrogen molar ratios of from 20 to 800 in the presence of catalysts comprising copper, aluminum and/or zinc to give mixtures of THF and GBL, b) separating the hydrogenation effluent obtained by distillation into a THF/water mixture as the top product and a GBL-containing bottom product, c) separating the THF/water mixture from step b) in a distillation facility consisting of three columns by withdrawing water from the bottom of the first column, recycling water-containing THF from the second into the first column, passing a side stream of the first into the second column, recycling the bottom product of the third column into the first column and withdrawing a distillate at the top of the first column, wherein a side stream of the second column is passed into the third column and the pure THF is obtained as the top product of the third column, d) recovering GBL from the GBL-containing bottom product from step b) by distillation and e) reacting the GBL obtained with ammonia or amines to give corresponding pyrrolidones.

    Abstract: Crude water-containing tetrahydrofuran is purified by passing the crude tetrahydrofuran through three distillation columns, withdrawing water from the bottom of the first column, recycling water-containing tetrahydrofuran from the top of the second column into the first column, passing a sidestream of the first column into the second column, recycling the bottom product of the third column into the first column, and withdrawing a distillate at the top of the first column. Additionally, a sidestream of the second column is passed into the third column and the purified tetrahydrofuran is recovered as the top product of the third column.
