Abstract:
Production of N-methylpiperazine by reaction of aqueous formaldehyde solution with piperazine followed by hydrogenation of the polymethylenepiperazine formed in the presence of known hydrogenation catalysts at superatmospheric pressure and elevated temperature, the reaction being carried out in the presence of acetic acid or piperazine acetate and the N,N''-dimethylpiperazine formed during the hydrogenation being distilled off as an azeotrope with water. N-methylpiperazine is used as a selective solvent for the extraction of aromatics from hydrocarbon mixtures.
Abstract:
PRODUCTION OF N-FORMYLMORPHOLINE OR N-ACETYLMORPHOLINE WHICH COMPRISES MIXING MORPHOLINE WITH FORMIC ACID OR ACETIC ACID AND DISTILLING OFF THE WATER FORMED FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE IN A COLUMN, A ZONE HAVING A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 130* TO 150*C. BEING MAINTAINED IN THE COLUMN ABOVE THE POINT OF SUPPLY AND A ZONE HAVING A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 210* TO 230*C. BEING MAINTAINED BELOW THE POINT OF SUPPLY. N-FORMYLMORPHOLINE AND NACETYLMORPHOLINE ARE SUITABLE AS EXTRACTANTS FOR AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS FROM HYDROCARBON MIXTURES.
Abstract:
Recovery of aromatic hydrocarbons by selective extraction of hydrocarbon mixtures containing olefins and naphthenes in addition to aromatic and paraffinic hydrocarbons. The extractant is a mixture of an N-alkylpyrrolidone and a compound of the formula
WHERE Y is alkylene or alkenylene having two or three carbon atoms or o-phenylene which may be partially hydrogenated and R is alkylene having two to 12 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF N-SUBSTITUTED MORPHOLINES BY HEATING A N-SUBSTITUTED BIS-(B-HYDROXYETHYL)-AMINE OR BIS-(B-HYDROXYPROPYL)-AMINE IN THE PRESENCE OF A WATER-ELIMINATING CATALYST, THE IMPROVEMENT CONSISTING IN CARRYING OUT THE REACTION AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 180* TO 270* C. IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER OR IN THE PRESENCE OF A HIGH-BOILING ORGANIC SOLVENT WHICH IS INERT UNDER THE REACTION CONDITIONS.

Abstract:
1401875 Extracting C 4 or C 5 conjugated diolefins BADISCHE ANILIN-& SODAFABRIK AG 24 Nov 1972 [26 Nov 1971] 54360/72 Heading C5E Pure C 4 or C 5 conjugated diolefins are separated from hydrocarbon mixtures by countercurrent gas scrubbing liquid-liquid extraction, extractive distillation and/or countercurrent distribution using as selective solvent a mixture of:- (a) 5-95 wt. per cent of an N-alkylpyrrolidone which may contain an inert substituent; and (b) 5-95 wt. per cent of an N-hydroxyalkyl compound of the general formula in which Y is C 2 or C 3 alkylene or alkenylene, or o-phenylene which may be wholly or partly hydrogenated R is a linear or branched alkylene and Z is oxygen or two hydrogens. The solvent mixture may contain up to 25 wt. per cent water. Preferred solvent components are (a) N-methylpyrrolidone; (b) N-hydroxyethylphthalimide, N-hydroxyethylsuccinimide and N-hydroxyethylpyrrolidone. The diolefins which may be separated by the process of the invention are butadiene, isoprene, 1,3-pentadiene and cyclopentadiene.
