Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing biphenols of general formula (I) by reacting monophenols of general formula (II), wherein the radicals R1, R2 and R3 independently represent hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl, with 1 - 10 C-atoms, in the presence of an oxidation agent in a reactor. Said method is characterised in that a) the reactor does not contain any stationary integrated components which act as a current agitator, b) a maximum of 0,6 mol of oxidation agents are used per mol of monophenol, and c) the oxidation agent is added in a continuous or discontinuous manner in a plurality of portions within a time span of between 10 min - 24 hours, whereby the amount of oxidation agent which is added per time unit is not constant over the entire tine span, but is varied.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the extractive separation of homogeneously dissolved catalysts from a reaction product from a hydrocyanation of unsaturated mononitriles to dinitriles, by extraction with a carbon material (K), characterised in that a) a non-polar aprotic liquid (F) is added to the reaction product to give a stream (I) and b) the stream (I) is extracted with a carbon material (K) at a temperature (T), to give a stream (II), containing the carbon material (K), enriched with the catalyst and a stream (III), stripped of catalyst.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Method for producing O-alkylated aminoalcohols by reacting N-unsubstituted or N-monosubstituted aminoalcoholates with alkyl halides, the aminoalcoholates being formed by means of alkali hydroxides or alkaline earth hydroxides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for extractive separation of nickel (0) complexes with phosphorous ligands, from a reaction product of a hydrocyanation of unsaturated mononitriles to give dinitriles, by means of extraction with a hydrocarbon, wherein a phase separation of the hydrocarbon and the nitrile-containing solution into two phases occurs, by addition of a polar additive to the reaction product (feed stream) and/or the extraction stage.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst containing a nickel complex (0) with ligands of formula (I) Y - E - X - E - Y wherein X represents arylene or heteroarylene, E , E independently represent O or NZ . Y , Y can be the same or different and independently represent a radical of formula (II.1) or (II.2), -P(-E -R )(-E -R ) wherein E 3, E , E , E can be the same or different and independently represent a chemical bond or independently represent O or NZ . R , R can be the same or different and independently represent a cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl group. R together with part of the system -E -P-E -,to which it is bonded, represents a 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-membered heterocycle.
Abstract:
A process is described for preparing 3-pentenenitrile, characterized by the following process steps: (a) reacting 1,3-butadiene with hydrogen cyanide over at least one catalyst to obtain a stream 1 which comprises 3-pentenenitrile, 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile, the at least one catalyst and 1,3-butadiene, (b) distilling stream 1 in a column to obtain a high-1,3-butadiene stream 2 as the top product and a low-1,3-butadiene stream 3 as the bottom product which comprises 3-pentenenitrile, the at least one catalyst and 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile, (c) distilling stream 3 in a column to obtain a stream 4 as the top product which comprises 1,3-butadiene, a stream 5 which comprises 3-pentenenitrile and 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile at a side draw of the column, and a stream 6 as the bottom product which comprises the at least one catalyst, (d) distilling stream 5 to obtain a stream 7 as the top product which comprises 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile, and a stream 8 as the bottom product which comprises 3-pentenenitrile.
