Abstract:
A method for preparing a mixture (M) comprising at least an alcohol (Aj), said method comprising the following steps: i) a step in which at least an alcohol (Ai) in gaseous state is oligomerized, thereby producing a mixture (A); ii) a step in which the mixture (A) is condensed to a gaseous stream and to a liquid stream corresponding to a condensed mixture (A); and iii) a step in which the condensed mixture (A) is hydrogenated in the liquid state.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns the production of compounds comprising nitrite functions and cyclic imide compounds. More specifically, the invention relates to the production of compounds comprising nitrile functions from compounds comprising carboxylic functions, advantageously of natural and renewable origin, and from methyl-2 glutaronitrile (MGN) or a mixture N of dinitriles comprising methyl-2 glutaronitrile (MGN), ethyl-2 succinonitrile (ESN) and adiponitrile (AdN).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing lactams using heterogeneous catalysis by hydrogenating at least one compound of the following formula (I), where A is a radical of the following formula (I′) or (II′): —CH(R1)—CH(R2)— (I′); or —CH(R1)—CH(R2)—CH(R3)— (II′); where R1, R2 and R3 are, independently from each other, H, OH, an alkyl radical, or a cycloalkyl radical; and R is H or a straight or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 20, preferably 1 to 10, and more preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Said method is carried out at a pressure of less than 60 bars, preferably 10 to 50 bars, in the presence of a solid hydrogenation catalyst including at least two metals selected from the group of noble metals and transition metals, and an inert substance used as a support, wherein said compound of formula (I) can be used alone or as part of a mixture.
