Abstract

Effects of the precursor of active metal and of the reduction temperature upon activity and selectivity in selective hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde by Pt/SnO2 and Ru/SnO2 catalysts were studied. Experiments were performed in the liquid phase with a group of solvents tested: propan-2-ol, toluene, hexane and tetrahydrofuran. The best results were achieved with catalysts from ex-nitrate precursors/Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2 and Ru(NO)(NO3)2/reduced at 150° C. Propan-2-ol was evaluated as the most appropriate solvent to gain high yields of crotylalcohol in this study. A new hydrogenation product, 2-methylprop-2-en-1-ol (methallylalcohol), was observed.
