Terephthalic Acid → 4-Formylbenzoic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

For reasons which are not understood, it has been found that hydrogenation of crude terephthalic acid with a catalyst comprising palladium deposited upon and reacted with a porous activated carbonaceous support from an organic solution of palladium nitrate gives a better reduction of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (4-CBA) with decreasing palladium content of the catalyst in the 0.1 (wt)% to 0.6 (wt)% range. Preferably, the catalyst should have less than 0.3 (wt)% palladium content. This is also an economic advantage because less palladium is needed.
