Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing 5-nitro-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalinone, 1,5-naphthalenediamine and 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, in which 4-(2-nitrophenyl)-n-butyronitrile is converted to 4-(2-nitrophenyl)-n-butyric acid.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for working up or treating aqueous waste waters which are formed during the nitration of toluene to dinitrotoluene with nitrating acid. These aqueous waste waters containing acidic wash water and alkaline wash water from the dinitrotoluene washing step, and distillate from the sulfuric acid concentration step. The process comprises, a) combining the acidic and alkaline waste waters from the washing step and the aqueous distillate from the sulfuric acid concentration step such that the resulting mixture has a pH below 5, b) separating the aqueous and organic phases which are formed by phase separation, c) subjecting the aqueous phase from b) to an extraction step, wherein d) the organic components contained in the aqueous phase from c) are extracted with toluene, and e) introducing the toluene phase enriched with the organic components into the toluene nitration.
Abstract:
p-Nitrophenolic compounds, e.g., p-nitrophenol itself, are selectively prepared by (a) reacting a phenolic compound with a nitrosating agent in the presence of sulfuric acid, the concentration of which H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 being at least 60%, (b) oxidizing the p-nitrosophenolic compound thus formed with nitric acid, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the medium of reaction, upon completion of oxidation, being no greater than 80%, and (c) separating the p-nitrophenolic compound which thus precipitates.

Methods for the production of 1,1,1-trihalogeno-2-nitroethanes from 1,1-dihalogenoethylene by using nitric acid or its salt and hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide or its salt, and for the production of .alpha.-unsaturated amines from the 1,1,1-trihalogeno-2-nitroethanes which are useful as insecticides.
Abstract:
Benzaldehydes of the formula ##STR1## can be obtained by reaction of substituted .beta.-amino-styrenes of the formula ##STR2## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.8, R.sup.9, R.sup.10, m, n and o have the scope of meaning indicated in the description, with oxygen in the presence of a Cu compound in the solution of an aprotic polar solvent at 0.degree.-120.degree. C.
Abstract:
It has been discovered that when co-nitrating a mixture of trimethylolethane and diethylene glycol, a storage stable spent acid can be obtained if during the co-nitration an excess of from about 60 to about 100% by weight of nitric acid over that stoichiometrically required is employed.
Abstract:
A process for the production of nitroalkanes and nitroaromatics having from one to 19 carbon atoms by the thermal decomposition of an acyl nitrate having from one to 20 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
A method of removing alkalinity and salt from a nitroaromatic product downstream of water washing to remove mineral acids and alkaline washing to remove salts of organic acids, comprises washing the product stream with an acidic aqueous solution, prior to the step of removing excess organic reactant, by steam stripping or distillation. Acid removed from the stripper or column is recycled back for use in the acidic washing. The acidic washing is done instead of the neutral washing step of the prior art. It removes residual salt and decreases the level of entrained colloidal water in the nitroaromatic product.
