A hydrogenation catalyst comprising (A) a transition metal compound in which a group having a heterocyclic skeleton is bonded to Ti, Zr or Hf through an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom, a representative of which compound is bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium bis(tetrahydrofurfuryloxy) and (B) an organic compound, halide or hydride of a metal of Groups I to III of the Periodic Table or comprising the constituent (A), the constituent (B) and (C) a polar, organic compound such as an alcohol, a carboxylic acid or the like. An olefinically unsaturated compound can be hydrogenated with a high efficiency by contacting the compound with hydrogen in the presence of the above catalyst in an inert, organic solvent. The above catalyst has a very high catalytic activity, is excellent in hydrogenation selectivity and thermal resistance, also excellent in storage stability and maintainability of catalytic activity and is hardly affected by the co-existing impurities.
一种氢化催化剂,包括(A)一种过渡
金属化合物,其中具有杂环骨架的基团通过氧原子或氮原子与 Ti、Zr 或 Hf 键合,该化合物的代表是双(
环戊二烯基)双(四氢糠氧基)
钛和(B)一种有机化合物、(C) 极性有机化合物,如醇、
羧酸等。在惰性有机溶剂中,烯烃不饱和化合物在上述催化剂存在下与
氢气接触,可以高效氢化。上述催化剂具有极高的催化活性,在氢化选择性和耐热性方面表现出色,在贮存稳定性和催化活性的可维持性方面也很出色,而且几乎不受共存杂质的影响。
