Continuous process for the production of d,l{40 menthol
Continuous process for production of d,l, menthol by hydrogenation of thymol or other compound having the carbon skeleton of menthol and which is substituted by oxygen (oxygen or hydroxy) in the 4-position. A cobalt-manganese catalyst is used which contains 10 to 40% by weight of manganese based on...

Zusammenfassung: | Continuous process for production of d,l, menthol by hydrogenation of thymol or other compound having the carbon skeleton of menthol and which is substituted by oxygen (oxygen or hydroxy) in the 4-position. A cobalt-manganese catalyst is used which contains 10 to 40% by weight of manganese based on the total quantity of oxidic cobalt and oxidic manganese. High conversion are obtained and the built up of by-products is low. The catalyst is similarly effective for rearrangement of isomers of menthol to product d,l-menthol. |
