Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of producing methyl formiate by reacting excess methanol with carbon monoxide under increased pressure and increased temperature in the presence of an alkalimethylate or alkaline earth methylate as the catalyst in a pressure-proof reactor. The inventive method uses at least two reactor elements, preferably countercurrent reactors, at a temperature of approximately 100 DEG C and a pressure of approximately 100 bar in combination with a solid-matter free desalination of the reactor product. The inventive method provides a means for producing methyl formiate of any quality desired and with an excellent production capacity in a very economical and complication-free manner. The invention further relates to a method of solid-matter free desalination and to devices for carrying out the inventive method.

Abstract:
In the process for preparing formamide by reaction of ammonia and carbon monoxide in the presence of at least one catalyst, sodium diformylamide is used as catalyst. If sodium methoxide is used as further active component, sodium diformylamide can be formed from this. In this process, sodium diformylamide is a particularly active and stable catalyst which can be recycled.
Abstract:
The invention describes a process for the preparation of novel surfactant alcohols and surfactant alcohol ethers by derivatization of olefins having from about 10 to 20 carbon atoms or of mixtures of such olefins to give alkanols, and optional subsequent alkoxylation, which comprises subjecting a C 4 -olefin mixture to metathesis, dimerizing the resulting olefins, and then derivatizing them to give surfactant alcohols, and optionally alkoxylating said alcohols. The olefin mixture obtained in the dimerization has a high proportion of branched components and less than 10% by weight of compounds which contain a vinylidene group. invention further describes the use of the surfactant alcohols and surfactant alcohol ethers to give surfactants by glycosylation or polyglycosylation, sulfation or phosphation.
