Abstract

Exhaustive hydrogenation of 2-butyne-1,4-diol to 1,4-butanediol on suspended palladium and Raney nickel catalysts under atmospheric pressure at 40°C was studied with the aim to determine the mechanism of 1-butanol formation. The previously unknown pathway of 1-butanol synthesis is realized under these conditions. The content of 1-butanol precursors in hydrogenation catalyzates was estimated by gas-liquid chromatography. The graphic dependence of the content of the intermediates and 1-butanol on time was found. The possibility of increasing the hydrogenation selectivity on Raney Ni catalysts with respect to the target product was revealed.
