Abstract
In a process for preparing aliphatic alcohols by hydrogenating aliphatic carboxylic acids or anhydrides or esters thereof or lactones in the presence of a catalyst comprising Pt and Re, in the form of the metal or an oxide in each case, the catalyst further comprises at least one further element from the groups 5 to 12 and 14 and the lanthanides of the Periodic Table of the Elements in the form of the metal or an oxide.
Claims7
A process for preparing aliphatic by diols or lactones by hydrogenating aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having at least 3 carbon atoms, or anhydrides or esters thereof in the presence of a catalyst comprising Pt and Re, in the form of the metal or an oxide in each case, wherein the catalyst further comprises at least one further element from groups 5 to 12 and 14 and the lanthanides of the Periodic Table of the Elements, with the exception of palladium, in the form of the metal or an oxide.
