Abstract
The kinetics of formation of tetrahydrofuran from dibutyl succinate were studied. The mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation of dialkyl succinates was found to involve consecutive formation of ?-butyrolactone, butane-1,4-diol, and tetrahydrofuran. Parameters of kinetic equations that properly describe the system of concurrent and consecutive reactions were determined.
