Abstract:
Continuous production of axerophthol by reaction of axerophthyl acetate with a lower alcohol using guanidine as transesterification catalyst in two stages, alkyl acetate and some of the excess alcohol being distilled off in the first stage and the remainder of the alcohol being removed in the second stage by distillation with a hydrocarbon as entrainer.
Abstract:
PRODUCTION OF 2-METHYLHEPT-2-EN-6-ONE WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR ORGANIC SYNTHESIS BY ISOMERIZATION OF 2-METHYLHEPT-1-EN-6-ONE USING AS CATALYST AN IRON CARBONYL COMPOUND, A ZEROVALENT ELEMENT OF 8 OF THE PERIODIC SYSTEM, SOME OF THE CARBONYL GROUPS IF DESIRED BEING REPLACED BY OTHER NEUTRAL LIGANDS.
Abstract:
PRODUCTION OF ALK-1-EN-6-ONES BY REACTION OF AN ALK-1EN-4-OL AT FROM 100* TO 400*C. WITH A KETONE BEARING AT LEAST ONE HYDROGEN ATOM ON A CARBON IN VICINAL POSITION TO THE CARBONYL GROUP.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CARBOXYLIC ESTERS OF BFORMYLCROTYL ALCOHOL IN WHICH A CARBOXYLIC ESTER OF 2FORMUL-2-HYDROXYBUTENE-(3) OR AN ACETAL OR ACYLATE OF THE SAME IS REARRANGED IN THE PRESENCE OF METALLIC COPPER OR A COPPER (I) OR COPPER (II) COMPOUND OR A MIXTURE OF THE SAME WITH OR WITHOUT HYDROLYSIS OF THE PRODUCTS OBTAINED.
Abstract:
THE PRODUCTION OF ETHERS AND ESTERS OF 4-HYDROXYTIGLALDEHYDE BY OXIDATION OF ETHERS OR ESTESR OF 3-METHYL-BUT2-EN-1-OL WITH OXYGEN OR GAS CONTAINING OXYGEN IN LIQUID PHASE AT TEMPERATURE OF 20* TO 200* C. IN THE PRESENCE OF CATALYTIC AMOUNTS OF HEAVY METAL SALTS AND BROMINE OR BROMINE COMPOUNDS. THE PRODUCTS OF THE PROCESS ARE IMPORTANT COMPOUNDS FOR ORGANIC SYNTHESES, PARTICULARLY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CAROTENOIDS.
Abstract:
Production of Beta -ionone by reaction of 3,7-dimethylocten(7)-yn-(1)-ol-(3) with a lower alkanol ester of acetoacetic acid at a temperature of from 100* to 400*C and treating the reaction mixture with an acid catalyst at a temperature of from 100* to 400*C and cyclizing the 6,10-dimethylundecatrien-(3,5,10)-one-(2) obtained by contacting with concentrated sulfuric acid at temperatures of from -30 to +20*C.
Abstract:
Production of alkenediols from alkenols in which the hydroxyl group is in the Beta -position to, or is farther removed from, the double bond and which bear at least one hydrogen atom on at least one carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atoms of the double bond, by reaction with an aldehyde at from 235* to 400*C.
Abstract:
Vitamin A palmitate is prepared from vitamin A alcohol and palmitoyl chloride in the presence of a tertiary amine in a continuous process in which vitamin A palmitate is obtained in high purity and almost quantitative yields.
