Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALCOHOL BY HYDROGENATION OF ESTER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004300131
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for efficiently producing alcohols from esters under relatively mild conditions through shortened steps.
This invention is a method for producing alcohols by hydrogenating esters in the presence of a solvent, hydrogen and a ruthenium complex catalyst. According to this invention, esters are hydrogenated in a hydrogen flow to produce alcohols in high yield.
