Abstract

Catalyst and process for the preparation of butene-2-diol-1,4 by the hydrogenation of butyne-2-diol-1,4 in aqueous solution over a palladium-containing fixed-bed catalyst, which is doped with lead or cadmium, in which a catalyst is used which has been made by applying Pd and Pb or Pd and Cd successively, by vapor deposition or sputtering, to a metal gauze or a metal foil acting as support material followed by forming the catalyst at an elevated temperature in air.
