Abstract:
Joint separation of acetylene and ethylene from cracked gas, obtained by submerged-flame methods, by condensing the hydrocarbons in one or more stages by cooling to a temperature above the solidification temperature of acetylene in admixture with the other condensable constituents, separating the condensate, washing the residual gas mixture with liquid ethylene and/or ethane, and further cooling the gas mixture free from acetylene to -140* to -170* C.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LACTONES HAVING SIX TO THIRTEEN RING MEMBERS AND ISOBUTYRIC ACID BY REACTION OF A CYCLIC KETONE HAVING FROM FIVE TO TWELVE RING MEMBERS AND ISOBUTYRIC ACID BY REACTION OF A CYCLIC KETONE HAVING FROM FIVE TO TWELVE RING MEMBERS AND ISOBUTYRALDEHYDE WITH MOLECULAR OXYGEN OR A GAS CONTAINING THE SAME, THE IMPROVEMENT CONSISTING IN CARRYING OUT THE REACTION WITHOUT USING A CATALYST. LACTONES ARE USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF POLYESTOR.
Abstract:
Diazatricyclononene compounds of the formula and their intermediates, i.e. norbornane compounds of the formula where R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, A and n have the meanings given in the claims and in the description, their preparation and their use as plant protection agents or plant growth regulators.
Abstract:
O.Z. 32,076 A process for the manufacture of pent-3-enoic acid and its alkyl esters, of the general formula CH3-CH=CH-CH2-CO-OR where R is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, comprising carbonylating butadiene with carbon monoxide and a compound ROH at from 300 to 1,000 bars CO pressure and from 100 to 160.degree.C in the presence of cobalt catalysts and nitrogen bases, wherein C4 cuts are used as starting materials and a tertiary amine having a pKA of from 3 to 11 is used as the nitrogen base. The pent-3-enoic acid or alkyl esters produced may be used for the manufacture of adipic acid or its alkyl esters, which compounds are starting materials for the manufacture of nylons.
Abstract:
Tricyclic nitrogenous compounds having strong plant growth regulating properties are disclosed. The compounds display the general formula wherein A is one of several nitrogen-containing radicals, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are selected from various recited aliphatic, aryl, araliphatic and heterocyclic groups. R3 and R4 may also together form one of a number of nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen containing radicals. These compounds have a variety of uses, including the reduction of plant growth height without harm to the plant.

Abstract:
Manufacture of carboxamides by the addition of water to nitriles in the presence of a copper-containing and magnesium silicate-containing catalyst which has been treated with a reducing gas. The carboxamides obtained by the process of the invention are valuable starting materials for the manufacture of solvents, flocculating agents, crosslinking agents, pesticides, plant protectants, textile auxiliaries such as levelling agents, waterproofing agents, foam stabilizers and detergents.
