Abstract:
ALKENONES WHOSE OLEFINIC DOUBLE BOND IS IN THE $,E-POSITION OR Y,&-POSITION TO THE KETO GROUP, ARE PREPARED BY REACTION OF AN OLEFIN WITH A B-HYDROXYKETONE IN THE LIQUID PHASE OR IN A SINGLE REACTION STAGE BY REACTION OF AN OLEFIN WITH FORMALDEHYDE OR A COMPOUND YIELDING FORMALDEHYDE AND AN ALIPHAIC KETONE IN THE LIQUID PHASE. ALKENONES ARE INTERMEDIATES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PERFUMES AND VITAMINS.
Abstract:
Production of 4-halogen-2-formylbutene-(2) or its lower alkyl acetals or lower fatty acid acylates by the action of certain halogenating agents on 2-formyl-2-hydroxybutene-(3) or its acetals or its acylates in the presence of tertiary amines such as trialkyl amines or N-alkyl derivatives of nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds such as piperidine, morpholine, piperazine or similar compounds having 5 to 6 ring members.

1,268,653. Trimethylbenzoquinone. BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK A.G. 12 Aug., 1969 [13 Aug., 1968], No. 40176/69. Heading C2C. Trimethyl-p-benzoquinone is prepared by reacting 2,3,6-trimethylphenol with oxygen in the presence of a cobalt complex of the formula where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen or an aliphatic radical or R 2 and R 3 and the two adjacent carbon atoms form an aromatic ring and in the presence of an open or cyclic amide having two substituents other than hydrogen on the nitrogen atom as solvent.

1,258,963. Trimethyl - 2 - cyclohexen -1 -ones. BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK A.G. 7 March, 1969 [8 March, 1968; 26 July, 1968], No. 12117/69. Heading C2C. In a process for the production of a trimethyl - 2 - cyclohexen - 1 - one diethyl ketone is reacted in the presence of a basic reagent either (a) with crotonaldehyde or a compound which in the presence of a basic reagent is converted into crotonaldehyde, thereby yielding 2,5,6 - trimethyl - 2 - cyclohexen - 1 - one, or (b) with methyl vinyl ketone or a compound which in the presence of a basic reagent is converted into methyl vinyl ketone, thereby yielding 2,3,6 - trimethyl - 2 - cyclohexen- 1-one. 4 - Methyl - 3 - ethyl - 2 - cyclohexen- 1-one formed as a by-product is isomerized to 2,3,6 - trimethyl - 2 - cyclohexen - 1 - one by treatment with an aqueous base. 2,3,6 - Trimethylphenol is obtained by dehydrogenation of either 2,5,6- or 2,3,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen- 1-one produced by the above processes. The dehydrogenation is carried out by heating the cyclohexenones with sulphur, selenium or chloranil or in the presence of metals such as iron, cobalt, nickel, rhodium, platinum, palladium, copper and silver. Numerous compounds are specified which form crotonaldehyde or methyl vinyl ketone in the presence of a basic reagent.
