New polyol ether compounds and a process for their preparation. The process comprises reacting a polyol, a carbonyl compound, and hydrogen in the presence of hydrogenation catalyst, to provide the polyol ether. The molar ratio of polyol to carbonyl compound in the process is greater than 5:1.
The present invention generally relates to a process for making polyol ethers by reacting a polyol and a carbonyl compound together in the presence of hydrogen gas and a palladium hydrogenation catalyst on an acidic mesoporous carbon support.
