Abstract

In a process for preparing alcohols containing cycloaliphatic groups by hydrogenation of carboxylic acids containing aromatic nuclei, or anhydrides or esters thereof, in the presence of a catalyst, the hydrogenation is carried out in one stage, and the catalyst contains at least one element from groups 8 to 10 and at least one element from group 7 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, in the form of the metal or an oxide in each case.
