Abstract:
A single step hydrogenation method for epoxidized unsaturated C6-C12 cyclohydrocarbon compounds, comprising a single step of bringing an epoxidized unsaturated cyclohydrocarbon compound having 6 to 12 carbon atoms into contact with hydrogen under a hydrogen pressure of 0.1 to 5.4 Mpa gauge at a temperature of 100 to 280Â° C. in the presence of a catalyst comprising a catalytic metal component comprising at least one platinum group metal carried on a solid inert carrier to convert the epoxidized unsaturated C6-C12 cyclohydrocarbon coumpound to C6-C12 cycloalkanone and C6-C12 cycloalkanol.
