I. Iliuta et al., TURNING TO GOOD VALUE SOME ALIPHATIC DICA RBOXYLIC-ACIDS .2. 1,5-PENTANEDIOL SYNTHESIS BY DI-N-BUTYLGLUTARATE HYDROGENATION, Revista de chimie, 46(8), 1995, pp. 725-729
The paper presents the research performed by the autors in the di-n-bu
tylglutarate catalytic hydrogenation to get 1,5-pentanediol, The hydro
genation took place at temperatures ranging 275-300 degrees C and pres
sures of 140-300 at, using palladium deposited on Kieselghur and coppe
r chromite. The copper chromite is found to be an efficient catalyst,
getting conversions of up to 90%.
