IPC Classification: C07D307/08, C07D307/00, C07D307/02, B01J31/10, B01J31/06, C07B61/00, 35/06
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of tetrahydrofuran (THF) from 1,4-butanediol (BDO). The present invention also relates to  batch and continuous process of production of tetrahydrofuran (THF) from 1,4-butanediol (BDO) using a heterogeneous acidic catalyst. The process of the present  invention shows the complete conversion of butanediol with a high yield of tetrahydrofuran and is highly cost-effective.
