PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an N-formylaminocarboxylate in a high yield and high selectivity, having no defect of conventional technology and usable for large-scale production. SOLUTION: This method for producing the N-formylaminocarboxylate comprises reacting an aminocarboxylic acid with a formate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing (meth) acrylic acid esters of polyhydric alcohols by reacting (meth) acrylic acid and the corresponding polyhydric alcohols in the presence of at least one acid catalyst and, optionally, of at least one polymerization inhibitor and, optionally, in the presence of a solvent, whereby the polyhydric alcohol that is used has a content of bound formaldehyde of less than 500 ppm.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the catalytic hydrogenation of methylol alkanals of general formula (I), where R 1 and R 2 independently represent an additional methylol group or an alkyl group having with 1 to 22 carbon atoms, or an alkyl group with 1 to 22 C atoms, or an aryl group or aralkyl group with 6 to 33 carbon atoms, in the liquid phase on a hydrogenation catalyst. The inventive method is characterized in that a pH value ranging between 6.3 and 7.8 is adjusted in the hydrogenation feed by adding at least one tertiary amine
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for increasing yield in the production of polyvalent alcohols, especially trimethylolpropane, obtained by condensing formaldehyde with a higher aldehyde. According to the inventive method, acid treatment is carried out on a mixture (high-boiling fraction) that is obtained by reprocessing, contains derivatives of said alcohols and has a higher boiling point than the respective alcohol, and the polyvalent alcohol is recovered from the acid-treated high-boiling fraction. The inventive method is characterised in that the water content of the high-boiling fraction amounts to between 20 and 90 wt. % in relation to the entire mixture of the high-boiling fraction and water.

Abstract:
The invention provides a process for preparing polyester polyols of polyhydric alcohols by mono- or polyesterification of at least one carboxylic acid having at least two acid groups and/or at least one derivative of a dicarboxylic acid with polyhydric alcohols, optionally with the addition of a catalyst, while removing the water of reaction, wherein the polyhydric alcohol used has a formaldehyde acetal content of less than 500 ppm.
Abstract:
Trimethylolpropane is isolated from a reaction mixture which has been obtained by reaction of n-butyraldehyde with formaldehyde in the presence of a base and, if appropriate, hydrogenation of the resulting mixture by distilling the mixture by means of a dividing wall column or a distillation column with a precolumn or a distillation column with an after-column. The process has low capital costs and a low energy consumption and gives reduced formation of high-boiling by-products.
Abstract:
Production of substituted pyrrole-2-carboxylic esters comprises reaction of alpha -nitroso- beta -oxoesters with beta -carbonyl compounds, in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere, in the presence of a noble metal-containing catalyst. Production of substituted pyrrole-2-carboxylic esters of formula (I) comprises reaction of alpha -nitroso- beta -oxoesters of formula (II) with beta -carbonyl compounds of formula (III), in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere, in the presence of a noble metal-containing catalyst. R -R = optionally functionalized aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic or 1-20C heterocycle. Where: (1) R and R can additionally be -CHO, -COOH (both in protected form) or -CN; (2) R can additionally be -OH, with the proviso that R = optionally functionalized aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic or heterocyclic of 1-20C; and (3) R can additionally be H.
