ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for preparing products such as 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran which comprises contacting unsaturated compounds such as allyl alcohol with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a rhodium carbonyl catalyst and a ketone solvent system. Allyl alcohol conversions of 100% and selectivities to 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran of 96% are achievable under certain conditions. Preferred ketone solvents are acetophenone and 2-undecanone. 2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran is an important precursor to manufacture of 1,4-butanediol.
