Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for producing 1,6-hexanediol and very pure e-caprolactone from a dicarboxylic acid solution (DCL), comprising steps (a) esterification of the DCL with alcohols, (b) partial catalytic hydrogenation of the esters, (c) separation by distillation of 1,6-hexanediol and low-boiling fractions as a top product, and (d) cyclization of the 6-hydroxycaproic acid ester contained in the bottom fraction in the presence of an alcohol boiling at a temperature exceeding the boiling point of caprolactane.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the hydrogenation of oligo- and/or polyesters which can be obtained by the esterification of a dicarboxylic acid solution with a diol or diol mixture, the hydrogenation being carried out in the presence of a catalyst, the precursor of said catalyst containing copper oxide, aluminum oxide and at least one oxide of lanthanum, iron, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium or zirconium. The invention also relates to a method for producing 1,6-hexanediol by the catalytic hydrogenation of ester mixtures which contain oligo- and polyesters of the adipic acid and 6-hydroxycaproic acid as the main components and which can be obtained by the esterification of a dicarboxylic acid solution with diols and especially 1,6-hexanediol or diol mixtures.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing gamma-hydroxycarboxylic esters and gamma-lactones, which are suitable as aromatic substances, by electrochemical reductive cross-coupling of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters with carbonyl compounds in an undivided electrolytic cell, said cell having a cathode that consists of lead, lead alloys, cadmium, cadmium alloys, mercury, steel, glassy carbon or boron-doped diamonds, and using an alkaline aqueous electrolyte comprising a conducting salt which suppresses cathodic hydrogen formation.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing 1,6-hexanediol, preferably of at least 99% purity, and especially practically free from 1,4-cyclohexanediols, from a carboxylic acid mixture that is obtained as a byproduct of the oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol using oxygen or oxygen-containing gases and by extraction of the reaction mixture with water, by transesterification and hydration to form hexanediol, the yield in valuable products being increased by adding a monomer or polymer polyol with at least three hydroxyl functional groups after a transesterification stage in which catalysts that contain at least one element of groups 3 to 14 are used.
