Disclosed herein are processes for producing 1,6-hexanediol. In one embodiment, the process comprises a step of contacting 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-carbaldehyde, a solvent, and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst at a reaction temperature between about 0° C. and about 120° C. at a pressure and for a reaction time sufficient to form a product mixture comprising 1,6-hexanediol. In one embodiment, the catalyst comprises a metal M1, a metal M2 or an oxide of M2, and a support, wherein M1 is Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, or Pt, and M2 is Mo, W, or Re; or M1 is Cu and M2 is Ni, Mn, or W. 1. A process comprising the step:contacting 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-carbaldehyde, a solvent, and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst at a reaction temperature between about 0° C. and about 120° C. at a pressure and for a reaction time sufficient to form a product mixture comprising 1,6-hexanediol.2.
