  • Patent number: 9416081
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing an aldehyde that provides a target aldehyde at a high conversion rate over an extended period of time. It is a method for producing an aldehyde comprising bringing a raw material gas containing a primary alcohol having 4 to 18 carbon atoms and water into contact with a dehydrogenation catalyst containing copper and iron so as to dehydrogenate the alcohol contained in the raw material gas, thereby obtaining an aldehyde, wherein the raw material gas has a water partial pressure of 0.2 kPa to 99 kPa.

  • Patent number: 9315439
    Abstract: Provided is an aldehyde production method that can provide target aldehydes with excellent aldehyde selectivity and a high conversion for a long period of time. The method includes bringing a mixed gas containing a vaporized primary alcohol and an inert gas into contact with a film-type dehydrogenation catalyst so as to dehydrogenate the primary alcohol in the mixed gas, thereby obtaining an aldehyde. The partial pressure of the primary alcohol in the mixed gas is 50 kPa or lower, and the film-type dehydrogenation catalyst is formed by providing a thin film catalyst layer on a support.

  • Patent number: 9181160
    Abstract: The present invention relates to [1] a method of producing 1-(2-t-butylcyclohexyloxy)-2-butanol including a step of hydrogenating 1-(2-t-butylphenyloxy)-2-butanol under a condition at a hydrogen pressure of from 1 to 5 MPa in the presence of a palladium catalyst (A) supported on peat-derived active carbon and a metal catalyst (B) containing one or more kinds of members selected from ruthenium, rhodium, platinum, and nickel; and [2] a perfume composition containing 1-(2-t-butylcyclohexyloxy)-2-butanol obtained by the foregoing method. According to the present invention, 1-(2-t-butylcyclohexyloxy)-2-butanol having a woody or amber-like fragrance as a perfume material and excellent fragrance notes can be obtained in a high purity because of a small remaining amount of a reaction intermediate and in a high yield.
