Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of formula (Ia) by the reaction of styrene with a secondary alkanol and the hydrogenation of the obtained phenyl-substituted tertiary alkanol. The invention further relates to compounds of formula (Ia) and to the use of such compounds as fragrances and to compositions containing the compounds of formulae (Ia) and (Ib).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing 4-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-2-butanol, comprising: a) reacting styrene with isopropanol at elevated temperature, wherein 2-methyl-4-phenyl-2-butanol is obtained; and b) hydrogenating 2-methyl-4-phenyl-2-butanol by means of heterogeneous catalysis on a catalyst suitable for the ring hydrogenation of aromatics, wherein the molar ratio of the styrene used in step a) to the isopropanol used in step a) lies within the range from 1 : under 5 to 1 : 0.5.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel macrocyclic lactones, to methods for producing said macrocyclic lactones, to the use of said macrocyclic lactones as aromatic substances, and to products containing the novel macrocyclic lactones.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing m-substituted phenylalkanols of the formula (I), R 1 denoting C 1 -C 5 -alkyl, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 independently denoting hydrogen or methyl, characterized in that a p-substituted phenylalkanol of the formula (II), where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 have the meanings given under formula (I), is isomerized in the presence of a Friedel-Craft catalyst to form an m-substituted phenylalkanol of the formula (I). The corresponding aldehydes known as fragrances and aroma chemicals can be formed as valuable products from the m-substituted phenylalkanols of the formula (I) by means of oxidation or dehydration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing substituted 2-nitrobiphenyls and to specific 2-nitrobiphenyls. The invention further relates to a process for preparing 2-aminobiphenyls from such 2-nitrobiphenyls and to a process for preparing (het)arylamides of such 2-aminobiphenyls.
