  • Synthesis of alkadienols
    Patent number: 3992456
    Abstract: Alkadienols are prepared by reacting a conjugated diolefin, such as butadiene, with water in the presence of palladium or platinum catalyst and in the presence of solvents. The addition of carbon dioxide to the reaction mixture greatly increases the yield of alkadienols. The products can be hydrogenated to saturated alcohols, useful for making plasticizers.
