THF is produced by hydrogenation of a succinic acid derivative, y-butyrolactone, or a mixture thereof in the presence of a Ru compound, an organophosphine compound, and a solid acid. The solid acid is an H-type zeolite. This process gives THF in a high yield under milder conditions than previous processes.

A process for the production of dialkyl carbonates such as dimethyl carbonate is described. The process involves contacting under reaction conditions an alkanol such as methanol with carbon monoxide and oxygen in the vapor phase and in the presence of a catalyst containing a copper halide, a copper oxyhalide, or a copper carboxylate halide, and a quaternary ammonium salt, on a zeolite support component (e.g., CuCI/Et,CI on zeolite Y). The catalyst achieves high selectivity and productivity to dialkyl carbonates.
