A process for the production of at least one C4 compound selected from 1,4- butanediol, .gamma.-butyrolactone and tetrahydrofuran, in which a solution of maleic anhydride in a high boiling ester is esterified with a C1 to C4 alcohol to form the corresponding di-(C1 to C4 alkyl)maleate, which is hydrogenated to form the at least one C4 compound. The high boiling ester has a boiling point at atmospheric pressure which is about 30 ~C higher than that of the di-(C1 to C4 alkyl)maleate and is selected from di-(C1 to C4 alkyl)esters of alkyl dicarboxylic acids containing up to 13 carbon atoms, mono- and di-(C10 to C18 alkyl)esters of maleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, and mixtures thereof, (C1 to C4 alkyl)esters of naphthalenemonocarboxylic acids, tri-(C1 to C4 alkyl)esters of tricarboxylic acids, and di-(C1 to C4 alkyl)esters of isophthalic acid.

L'invention concerne un procédé pour la production d'au moins un composé de C¿4? sélectionné parmi 1,4-butanediol, .gamma.-butyrolactone et tétrahydrofuranne, dans lequel une solution d'anhydride maléique dans un ester à haut point d'ébullition est estérifiée avec un alcool C¿1? à C¿4? pour former le di-(alkyl C¿1?-C¿4?) maléate correspondant, lequel est hydrogéné pour former le ou les composés de C¿4?. L'ester à haut point d'ébullition présente un point d'ébullition à la pression atmosphérique supérieur d'environ 30 ·C à celui du di-(alkyl C¿1? à C¿4?) maléate et est choisi parmi des di-(alkyl C¿1? à C¿4?) esters d'acides alkyldicarboxyliques contenant jusqu'à 13 atomes de carbone, des mono- et di-(alkyl C¿10? à C¿18?) esters d'acide maléique, d'acide fumarique, d'acide succinique, et des mélanges de ceux-ci, des (alkyl C¿1? à C¿4?) esters d'acides naphtalènemonocarboxyliques, des tri-(alkyl C¿1? à C¿4?) esters d'acides tricarboxyliques, et des di-(alkyl C¿1? à C¿4?) esters d'acide isophtalique.
