Aliphatic primary alcohols, including aliphatic primary alcohols possessing one or more oxygen, nitrogen and/or phosphorus heteroatoms that may be atoms substituting for carbon atoms in the alkyl group or component atoms of substituents on the alkyl group, were converted into salts of carboxylic acids by contacting an alkaline aqueous solution of the primary alcohol with a catalyst comprising cobalt, copper, and at least one of cerium, iron, zinc, and zirconium. Diethanolamine, for example, was converted to sodium iminodiacetate by treatment in an aqueous medium containing sodium hydroxide with a catalyst that was obtained by reducing a mixture of cobalt, copper, and zirconium oxides with hydrogen.
脂肪族伯醇,包括具有一个或多个氧、氮和/或磷杂原子的脂肪族伯醇,这些杂原子可以是取代烷基中碳原子的原子或烷基上取代基的组分原子,通过将伯醇的碱性水溶液与由钴、铜以及铈、铁、锌和锆中的至少一种组成的催化剂接触,转化为羧酸盐。例如,二乙醇胺在含有氢氧化钠的水介质中与催化剂处理后,可转化为亚氨基二乙酸钠,该催化剂是通过用氢气还原钴、铜和锆氧化物混合物而得到的。
