A process for producing a hydrogenated ester by hydrogenating an unsaturated group-containing ester having a specific structure by using a hydrogenating catalyst so as to obtain a hydrogenated ester with a high selectivity. It is preferred that the unsaturated group-containing ester as the raw material is diluted with an inert solvent and/or the concentration of carboxylic acid contained in the raw material is made 1 wt.% or less so as to effect a hydrogenation reaction. The hydrogenating catalyst to be used for the above hydrogenation may preferably be one comprising at least one metal selected from Group VIII elements, Group IX elements, and Group X elements in the periodic table, and preferably has an acidity of 1.0 × 10-1 mmol/g or less.
一种生产氢化酯的工艺,通过使用氢化催化剂对具有特定结构的含不饱和基团的酯进行氢化,从而获得具有高选择性的氢化酯。作为原料的含不饱和基团酯最好用惰性溶剂稀释,和/或原料中所含的羧酸浓度在 1 wt.% 或以下,以便进行氢化反应。用于上述氢化反应的氢化催化剂最好是由至少一种选自元素周期表中第八族元素、第九族元素和第十族元素的金属组成的催化剂,其酸度最好为1.0×10-1毫摩尔/克或更低。
