PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing cyclopentenones from dicarboxylic acids. SOLUTION: The present invention provides a process for preparing 2-cyclopentenones of general formula 1 [in the formula R 1 to R 4 are each H, an alkyl, an alkenyl, a cycloalkyl, a cycloalkenyl, an aralkylene or an aryl group], by converting hexenedioic acids and/or their esters (for example, 3-hexene-1, 6-dioic acid) at temperatures of from 150 to 450°C., over solid oxide catalysts, wherein the catalysts on an oxide carrier material comprise from 0.01 to 5% by weight of at least one alkali metal oxide.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing 1,6-hexanediol having a purity of > 99.5 wt. % by catalytic dimerisation of acrylic acid esters, catalytic hydrogenation of the thus obtained hexene diacidic diester in order to form 1.6-hexanediol. Said method consists in: a) dimerising C1- C8-acrylic acid esters in the presence of at least one rhodium compound in order to form mixtures predominantly of 2- and 3-hexene diacdic diesters, b) hydrating the obtained dimerisation discharge in the presence of chrome-free catalysts containing mainly copper as a hydrogenation component and c) purifying the thus obtained raw 1.6-hexanediol by fractionating distillation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst containing from 0.1 to 20 mass % rhenium and 0.05 to 10 mass % platinum in relation to the total mass thereof. The inventive method for producing a support for said catalyst consists in a) treating a support which can be eventually pre-treated with the aid of a solution of rhenium compound, b) drying and annealing said support at a temperature ranging from 80 to 600 DEG C, and c) impregnating the support with a solution of platinum compound and in drying it. The inventive method for producing alcohol by catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl compound on said catalyst is also disclosed.

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.
