Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new catalytic system, which is a Lindlar type catalyst, wherein the supporting material (CaCO3) has an average particle size (d50) of more than 10 Pm, as well as to the use of such a catalytic system for the partial hydrogenation of a carbon-carbon triple bond (to a carbon-carbon double bond).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of 4-alkanoyloxy-2-methylbutanoic acid, as well as to the use of such compounds in organic syntheses, especially in processes forming intermediates (building blocks) for the synthesis of organic compounds comprising isoprene (isoterpene) units, such as β-carotene or other carotenoids (e.g. canthaxanthin, zeaxanthin or astaxanthin) or as vitamin E or vitamin A as well as other structurally similar compounds.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a new metal powder catalytic system (catalyst) comprising a cobalt/chrome-alloy as a carrier, its production and its use in hydrogenation processes.
