Abstract:
The present invention is to provide compositions comprising organic compounds useful as a chemical industrial material or a fuel composition with the use of an alcohol such as ethanol as a material. It is a method for producing compositions using alcohol as a starting material and comprising: allowing alcohol to contact with an alcohol conversion catalyst such as hydroxyapatite (first step) and conducting a hydrogenation reaction respectively for all reaction products consisting of a liquid phase including alcohols, water and hydrocarbons of 4-12 carbons and a gas phase which is light gas containing paraffins, alcohols and olefins; all liquid phase reaction products consisting of all reaction products from which light gas has been removed; and a liquid phase dehydration reaction products consisting of all reaction products from which light gas, unreacted alcohol and product water have been removed (second step).

Abstract:
A method for increasing the yield of alcohols by a Guerbet reaction in a gas phase and reducing production cost is provided. A method for producing alcohols by a Guerbet reaction, wherein the reaction is performed in a gas phase and at a total pressure of less than 1 atm and preferably from 0.01 to 0.5 atm, using one or more raw material alcohols.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a novel method for manufacturing various organic compounds from 2 or more kinds of alcohol, or 1 kind of alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms. It is a method for synthesizing 1 kind of, or 2 or more kinds of organic compounds comprising allowing 2 or more kinds of alcohol or 1 kind of alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms to contact hydroxyapatite (except those supporting metal catalysts or metal ion catalysts acting on alcohol).
