2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, many methods have been reported for producing 1,4-butanediol by hydrogenating oxygen-containing C 4 hydrocarbons such as maleic anhydride. For example, the best known method is to use a copper-based catalyst. However, in this method, an organic carboxylic acid such as maleic acid cannot be directly reduced, and the carboxylic acid must be once converted into an ester and then reduced, resulting in a high manufacturing process. Further, in this method, the reaction is generally carried out under a hydrogen pressure of 200 atm or higher, which is uneconomical in terms of energy and equipment.
