    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject ester without using a largely excess of a water- binding agent or an expensive extraneous condensing agent by reacting tocopherol or tocotrienol with a corresponding carboxylic acid. SOLUTION: This ester can be obtained by esterifying tocopherol or tocotrienol with (A) a corresponding carboxylic acid. The esterification is carried out using 2.5-6mol of a carboxylic acid (preferably, acetic acid, sorbic acid, etc.) in an aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic hydrocarbon having a boiling point of 80-200 deg.C, preferably 110-130 deg.C as a solvent, or 1.0-2.5mol of an carboxylic acid in a two-phase mixture as solvent consisting of an aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon having a boiling point of 80-200 deg.C and a cyclic carbonate of formula I (R to R are each H or a 1-4C alkyl; R is H, a 1-4C alkyl, phenyl, etc.) or a γ-lactone of formula II in the presence of a non-oxidizing strong acid under continuous azeotropic distillation.

    Abstract: Process wherein trimethylphenol is oxidised with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst which contains a copper(II) halide in a two-phase reaction medium consisting of water and an aliphatic alcohol at high temperature, characterised in that the reaction is performed in a mixture of water and a saturated aliphatic alcohol with 12 to 18 C-atoms and a flash point above 120 DEG C, such as 1-dodecanol, 1-tetradecanol, 1-hexadecanol or 1-octadecanol, especially 1-dodecanol, and at temperatures between 60 and 100 DEG C. … Particularly good yields of TMBQ are obtained when the reaction is performed in the presence of a copper(II) halide, such as CuCl2 or CuBr2, and an alkaline earth metal halide, especially CaCl2 or MgCl2, or an alkali metal halide, especially LiCl and NaCl, as catalyst system.

    Abstract: Improved process for the preparation of salcomine useful as an oxidation catalyst for the oxidation of alkylated phenols to the corresponding alkylated p-benzoquinones by reacting salicylaldehyde with ethylenediamine in a mole ratio of about 2:1 and a cobalt salt in a liquid reaction medium wherein the reaction medium is a linear or cyclic carboxamide which is disubstituted on the nitrogen, in particular dimethylformamide, and the cobalt salt is cobalt carbonate or with the cobalt hyroxide carbonate, 2 CoCO3.3 Co(OH)2.H2O. Preparation of the salcomine in accordance with the invention offers significant advantages, both in the preparation of the salcomine itself and in the subsequent oxidation of the trimethylphenol to trimethyl-p-benzoquinone utilizing the salcomine.
