Abstract:
IN WHICH ONE X is chloro and the other X is hydrogen or each X is chloro; and WITH AIR OR OXYGEN OR WITH 10 TO 30% BY WEIGHT NITRIC ACID TO FORM THE CORRESPONDING CARBOXYLIC ACID FOLLOWED BY CYCLIZATION OF THE LATTER. 1-CHLOROANTHRAQUINONE-2,3-DICARBOXYLIC ANHYDRIDE OR 1,4-DICHLOROANTHRAQUINONE-2,3-DICARBOXYLIC ANHYDRIDE IS OBTAINED IN A GOOD YIELD. Each is a valuable dye intermediate.
A process for the production of an anthraquinone-2,3dicarboxylic anhydride bearing chlorine as a substituent in the 1-position or in the 1- and 4-positions by oxidation of a trimethyl compound of the formula:
Abstract:
PRODUCTION OF O-BENZOYLBENZOIC ACID BY OXIDATION OF AN INDIAN WITH OXYGEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST IN THE LIQUID PHASE. THE PRODUCT IS A STARTING MATERIAL FOR MANY SYNTHESES (SEE FOR EXAMPLE ULLMANNS ENCYKLOPADIE DER TECHNISCHEN CHEMIE, VOLUME 3, PAGES 660 ET SEQ.). IT IS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE AS A STARTING MATERIAL FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF ANTHRAQUINONE.
Abstract:
1353786 Purification of terephthalic acid BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK AG 15 Sept 1971 [16 Sept 1970] 42921/71 Heading C2C A process for the purification of terephthalic acid from crude terephthalic acid containing a small amount of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde with or without other impurities comprises heating an aqueous mixture containing from 5 to 45% by weight of crude terephthalic acid and from 0À003 to 3% by weight of formic acid at a temperature of at least 230‹ C. in contact with a noble metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table as catalyst, and thereafter the aqueous mixture is separated from the catalyst and cooled to cause solid terephthalic acid to separate out.
Abstract:
PREPARATION OF 2-METHOXYALKANOIC ACIDS A process for the preparation of a 2-methoxy-alkanoic acid of 2 to 5 carbon atoms by oxidizing the corresponding 2-methoxyalkanol with nitric acid in the presence of vanadate ions as the catalyst, at below 90.degree.C, and isolating the 2-methoxyalkanoic acid by distillation.
Abstract:
Alkylcarboxylic acids CnH2n+1COOH (I) where n is from 2 to 18 are manufactured by hydroformylation of olefins CnH2n with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of rhodium catalysts at from 80 to 200.degree.C and from 80 to 600 bars, followed by oxidation of the aldehydes, first obtained, with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases, using a method wherein the reaction mixture resulting from the hydroformylation is directly subjected to the oxidative treatment, the carboxylic acids are distilled from the mixture thus obtained and the lowvolatility distillation residue, containing rhodium, is recycled, without additional treatment, to the hydroformylation stage.
