    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject compound useful for a resin raw material, etc., in a high yield, by subjecting a polyhydric alcohol, an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound and formaldehyde to an aldol/Cannizzaro reaction in the presence of a base. SOLUTION: An aqueous solution or suspension containing (A1 ) >=10 mol% of a compound of formula I (W is an organic group: (w) is valence of OH), (A2 ) 10-70 mol % of formaldehyde and (A3 ) >=10 mol% of an alkaline (earth) metal compound is reacted with (A4 ) a compound of formula II (Z is a 1-6C alkyl; X is Z, etc.; Y is X, etc.), the residual A1 , the residual A2 and the residual A3 by continuously or periodically adding the compound, etc., to the aqueous solution or suspension so as to make the component A2 based on the component A4 constantly excessive in a reaction mixture. The reaction is carried out in the molar ratios the components A1 , A2 and A3 equivalents to the component A4 of 0.05-20. 2-15 and 1-3 respectively in a water phase at pH >=7 at 0-100 deg.C. The reaction mixture is acidified to isolate the objective compound of formula III [OV is a group of formula IV (M is CH2 OH, etc.; (n) is 1-5); (m) is 1-w].

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily producing the objective decomposition products in high selectivity, at a little use of a catalyst or at high space time yield, with the optional use of an acidic catalyst by subjecting a linear or cyclic acetal to reductive decomposition, in the presence of a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst and hydrogen, in a formate-containing aqueous medium under specific conditions. SOLUTION: A linear or cyclic acetal is subjected to reductive decomposition, in the presence of heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst and hydrogen, at a pH of less than 7 under a pressure of 0.1-30 MPa at a temperature of 200-300 deg.C, preferably 200-280 deg.C in a formate-containing aqueous medium, wherein the weight ratio of a hydrogenation activating metal to the acetal is less than 0.1 in the case of the operation of a suspension. Preferable examples of the catalyst to be used above are supported catalysts prepared by supporting the hydrogenation activating metal such as Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, Cu, Cr, Fe, Co or Ni on a base of a support consisting of activated carbon or an oxide.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply carry out intermolecular etherification of an alcohol and degradation of ether in high ether yield and good monoether selectivity without producing a by-product such as colored material by using a combination of an acid catalyst with a hydrogenation catalyst and water as a solvent. SOLUTION: When a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol (A) is etherified or an ether is subjected to ether decomposition in water phase in the presence of (B) an acid catalyst (e.g. formic acid, acetic acid or propionic acid) at >=100 deg.C (e.g. 120-380 deg.C) to carry out intermolecular etherification of the component A and ether degradation, the reaction is carried out in coexistence of (C) a hydrogenation catalyst which is stable to an acid [e.g. monovalent or polyvalent noble metal (compound) which is a series of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium or platinum]under hydrogen atmosphere (e.g. 1-15 MPa hydrogen partial pressure). The reaction is preferably carried out by using the component B in an amount of 0.1-20 wt.% based on polyol and the component C in an amount of 0.001-10 wt.% based on the component A or ether to be degraded.

    Abstract: Process for producing 5- or 6-membered cyclic ethers (anhydropolyols) comprises subjecting polyols having at least 4 C atoms and at least 2 OH groups to cyclodehydration at at least 100 degrees C in the presence of water, an acid catalyst, an acid-stable hydrogenation catalyst and hydrogen. Preferably the reaction temperature is 100-380 degrees C, preferably 180-280 degrees C. The H2 pressure is 1-20 MPa, preferably 3-10 MPa. The hydrogenation catalyst comprises Ru, Rh, Pd and/or Pt as metals or metal compounds. The hydrogenation catalyst is used in an amount of 0.001-10 (preferably 0.01-1) wt.% based on the polyol. The acid catalyst is a 1-10C aliphatic carboxylic acid, preferably formic, acetic or propionic acid. The acid catalyst is used in an amount of 0.1-20 (especially 0.5-10) wt.% based on the polyol. The polyol is a tetritol, pentitol or hexitol.
