Alkenes are prepared by partial hydrogenation of alkynes in the liquid phase at from 20 to 250° C. and hydrogen partial pressures of from 0.3 to 200 bar over fixed-bed supported palladium catalysts which are obtainable by heating the support material in the air, cooling, applying a palladium compound and, if required, additionally other metal ions for doping purposes, molding and processing to give monolithic catalyst elements, by a process in which A) alkynes of 10 to 30 carbon atoms are used as starting compounds, B) the palladium compound and, if required, the other metal ions are applied to the support material by impregnation of the heated and cooled support material with a solution containing palladium salts and, if required, other metal ions and subsequent drying, and C) from 10 to 2000 ppm of carbon monoxide (CO) are added to the hydrogenation gas or a corresponding amount of CO is allowed to form in the liquid phase by slight decomposition of a compound which is added to the reaction mixture and eliminates CO under the reaction conditions. The process is particularly advantageous if the partial hydrogenation is carried out in a tube reactor by the trickle-bed or liquid phase procedure with product recycling at cross-sectional loadings of from 20 to 500 m3/m2*h. The process is particularly suitable for the preparation of 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-1-hexadecen-3-ol (isophytol), 3,7,11-trimethyl-l-dodecen-3-ol (tetrahydronerolidol), 3,7,11-trimethyl-1,4-dodecadien-3-ol, 3,7,11-trimethyl-1,6-dodecadien-3-ol (dihydronerolidol), 3,7-dimethyloct-1,6-dien-3-ol or 3,7-dimethyloct-1-en-3-ol from the corresponding alkynes.

The invention relates to a process and apparatus for the isothermal operation of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions involving at least three phases in the form of a gaseous phase, a liquid phase and a solid phase. The invention provides apparatus for carrying out reactions involving a gaseous phase, a liquid phase and a solid phase, comprising (i) a dispersing element for dispersing a gas phase in a liquid phase to generate a reaction fluid, (ii) at least one reactor which possesses an inlet, an outlet and a reactor space bounded by heat-removing walls which are spaced apart substantially uniformly along the main flow axis of the reaction fluid, and which is fitted with catalyst-coated metal fabric, and (iii) a feed line which routes the reaction fluid from the dispersing element to the reactor inlet and is sufficiently short that the degree of dispersion of the reaction fluid does not substantially change in the course of the passage through the feed line.
