    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain α-tocopherol (vitamin E) important as an antioxidant in the field of nutrition without causing grave waste-water problem from trimethylhydroquinone, etc., by recycling a zinc halide condensation catalyst. SOLUTION: The subject compound is produced by reacting 2,3,5- trimethylhydroquinone with phytol or isophytol in the presence of zinc chloride or zinc bromide and a proton donor such as a mineral acid or toluensulfonic acid. The reaction is carried out in a nonpolar solvent scarcely miscible with water and zinc chloride, etc., are introduced into the reaction system as a mixture of 1mol of the zinc chloride, etc., and 1-4mol of water, separated after the completion of reaction and recycled to the reaction system optionally after concentrating or replenishing to a concentration of about 60-90wt.%.

    Abstract: The preparation of 3,5,5-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-ene-1,4-dione (I) by oxidation of 3,5,5-trimethyl-cyclohex-3-en-1-one (II) with molecular oxygen is catalyzed by a manganese salen complex (III). Preparation of 3,5,5-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-ene-1,4-dione (I) (i.e. oxoisophorone) involves oxidation of 3,5,5-trimethyl-cyclohex-3-en-1-one (II) (i.e. beta -isophorone) with molecular oxygen in presence of a solvent, a base and a manganese salen complex of formula (III) as catalyst. R = H or Cl; M = Mn(II) or Mn(III) .Cl .

    Abstract: Continuous production of 5-alken-2-one or 3,5-alkadien-2-one derivatives (I) by reacting a 1-alken-3-ol or 1-alkyn-3-ol derivative (II) with an alkyl acetoacetate (III) in a fractionation column to form an acetoacetate and alcohol involves (i) removing the alcohol and (ii) contacting the acetoacetate with catalyst in the lower part or bottom of the column to form (I). Continuous production of unsaturated ketones of formula (I) by reacting an unsaturated alcohol of formula (II) with an alkyl acetoacetate of formula (III) in the presence of an organoaluminum catalyst is carried out by: (a) reacting (II) with (III) on the plates of a fractionation column to form the acetoacetate of (II) and an alcohol of formula R OH; (b) removing the alcohol in the overhead stream from the column; (c) contacting the acetoacetate of (II) with the catalyst in the lower part or bottom of the column to form (I) and CO2; (d) removing the CO2 in the overhead stream from the column; and (e) withdrawing (I) in the bottoms stream from the column. R = 1-4C alkyl; R = 1-37C (un)saturated aliphatic hydrocarbyl (optionally substituted by methoxy groups), 4-12C cycloalkyl or 5-30C cycloalkylalkyl; and R = 1-5C alkyl.
