Abstract:
An improved method for the selective vapor phase oxidation of propylene to acrolein in a recirculating solids reactor system using a bismuth molybdate multimetal oxide involving specific reactant concentrations (preferably 5 mol % to 30 md % propylene, 0 to 20 mol % oxygen, and the remainder inert gas), particle size (1 to 300 micrometers), temperature (250 to 450 DEG C) and gas (1 to 15 seconds) and solids (2 to 60 seconds) residence times. Such a process leads to improved selectivity and propylene conversion.
Abstract:
A method is for the synthesis of 2,4-dimethylpyrimidin-5-ol, which can be used as an intermediate compound in the synthesis of Lemborexant. The method includes reacting a nitrophenyl compound with N,N-dimethylformamide diethyl acetal.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a halogenated aniline represented by formula (I) (wherein each of X1 and X2 independently represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or an iodine atom), a method for producing the halogenated aniline, and other aspects.
Abstract:
A process for the industrial preparation of the quinone derivative represented by the following general formula: ##STR1## which is an intermediate for chroman derivatives useful as a blood sugar lowering agent, and novel intermediates, encompasses the following:(1) Oxidation of the corresponding hydroquinone derivative, and(2) Hydrolysis of the corresponding acyl hydroquinone derivative with a Claisen alkali, followed by the oxidation of resulting hydrolyzate.
Abstract:
In the conjugated nitrofluorination of an olefin by reacting an olefin of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each independently is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, alkyl, halogenoalkyl or cycloalkyl, orR.sup.2 and R.sup.4 together are an alkylene radical of 3 to 6 carbon atoms,with hydrogen fluoride and nitric acid to produce an .alpha.-fluorinated nitroalkane of the formula ##STR2## the improvement which comprises effecting the reaction in a vessel protected against corrosion employing about 1 to 1.1 mols of hydrogen fluoride and about 1 to 2 mols of nitric acid per mol of olefin. The process uses much less HF than heretofore and the products are useful intermediates in making herbicides. Some of the products are new.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an process for the production of nitroparaffins from hydrocarbons higher than methane, by nitration with nitrogen peroxide in the presence of oxygen, introduced in the form of air, wherein the nitration is carried out at a pressure which is between 8 and approximately 14 bars, the reactant gases being preheated under the reaction pressure and introduced into the reaction zone between 150* and 330*C, the gaseous effluents originating from the nitration zone being subjected to a rapid cooling or quenching.
