Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing alkyne diols by reacting ketones with acetylenic hydrocarbons in an organic solvent in the presence of a base which contains potassium alcoholates of primary and/or secondary alcohols. The alkyne diols are produced while forming adducts which precipitate out of the reaction mixture and which are comprised of alkyne monoalcohols and/or alkyne diols and a base. The stoichiometries of the reaction partners are selected such that gelatinous adducts are formed which comprise a spherical surface, whereby the reaction mixture remains agitable during the entire reaction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing carbonyl diimidazoles of general formulas (Ia), (Ib), (Ic) or mixtures thereof, whereby R1 represents hydrogen or a C1-C4 alkyl radical and R2 represents hydrogen o r a methyl radical. According to the invention, stoichiometric quantities of an organic nitrogenous base which comprises a lower pK b value than imidazole is added to the reaction mixture with regard to the imidazoles by reacting at least one imidazole of general formulas (IIa) and (IIb) in which R1 and R2 have the aforementioned meanings with phosgene in an inert solvent.
