Abstract:
This is a catalyst and a process for partially hydrogenating polycyclic and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalenes, biphenyls, and alkylbenzenes to produce the corresponding cycloolefins. The catalyst is a hydrogenation catalyst comprising ruthenium on a composite support. It is a process in which the product cycloolefin is produced in high yield and with high selectivity.

This is a catalyst and a process for partially hydrogenating polycyclic and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalenes, biphenyls, and alkylbenzenes to produce the corresponding cycloolefins. The catalyst is a hydrogenation catalyst comprising ruthenium and a promoter metal, such as cobalt, on a composite support. It is a process in which the product cycloolefin is produced in high yield and with high selectivity.
Abstract:
Tischtschenko condensation of aldehydes is used to remove aldehydes from dry ketone-containing streams. The Tischtschenko condensation is used to condense the aldehydes into esters whose boiling points are significantly different than the ketones, greatly simplifying the separation of the esters from the ketones. An organic extraction step is used to obtain a substantially dry ketone containing stream. One particularly preferred class of extraction solvents is selected from the group consisting of butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane and mixtures thereof. In particularly preferred embodiments, the Tischtschenko reaction is used in the context of aqueous-phase catalyzed olefin oxidation to ketones. The aldehyde to ester condensation permits easy and efficient removal of the aldehyde analogs of the desired ketones.
Abstract:
L'invention se rapporte à un catalyseur et un procédé permettant d'hydrogéner partiellement des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques et cycliques comme le benzène, le naphtalène et l'alkylbenzène, afin de produire les cyclo-oléfines correspondantes. Le catalyseur consiste en un catalyseur d'hydrogénation se composant de ruthénium sur un support composite. Ledit procédé permet de produire des cyclo-oléfines en grande quantité et avec une grande sélectivité.
