Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing 1,6-hexanediol, preferably of at least 99.5% purity, which hexanediol is especially substantially free from 1,4 cyclohexanediols, starting from a carboxylic acid mixture which is obtained as a byproduct of the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol with oxygen or gases containing oxygen and by extraction of the reaction mixture with water, and by hydrogenation of the carboxylic acid mixture, esterification and hydrogenation of a partial flow to hexanediol.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing phenylalkane-1-ols 5 using three steps, wherein in the first step an ester condensation is carried out in the presence of alkali or alkaline earth alcoholates.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the recovery of diphenylmethane diamine, comprising the steps of A) reaction of aniline with formaldehyde in the presence of a mineral acid, B) neutralization of the mineral acid with a base, C) separation of the organic and inorganic phase, D) removal of the base from the inorganic phase by adsorption, c) recovery of the mineral acid.
Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a method for the production of diphenylmethane diamine, comprising the following steps: a) reaction of aniline with formaldehyde in the presence of an acid, b) neutralization of the acid with ammonia, c) separation of the reaction mixture from step b) into an aqueous and an organic phase, d) treatment of the aqueous phase obtained from step c) with an oxide or hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal, e) removal of the ammonia obtained in step d).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the synthesis of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran by the one-step hydrogenation of furfural with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of at least one support catalyst containing a noble metal of group 8, 9, and/or 10 of the periodic system of elements.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for preparing 2-methyltetra-hydrofuran by one-stage hydrogenation of furfural with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of a structured bed composed of at least one copper catalyst and at least one catalyst which comprises at least one noble metal from groups 8, 9 and/or 10 of the Periodic Table of the Elements on a support material.
