Reaction Steps

To a 5000 ml autoclave, 910 g of 2-propanol (IPA, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, special grade), 364 g of biphenyl aldehyde made by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (2.0 mol), 7.3 g of 5% Ru/Al2O3 (made by N. E. CHEMCAT) and 10 MPa of hydrogen were charged, and stirred at 150° C. for 8 h. After cooling, a catalyst was filtered under an inert gas atmosphere. After a solvent was removed, distillation was conducted under reduced pressure to obtain bicyclohexyl methanol (BCHM) (80% yield, 99% purity).
