Date Sep. 30, 1993The invention relates to a process for the preparation of acesulfam salts by reaction of salts of amidosulfonic acid with diketene to give a salt of acetoacetamidosulfonic acid (I), ring closure by the action of at least about an equivalent amount of SO3, at least this ring closure reaction being carried out in the presence of a halogenated, aliphatic hydrocarbon as an inert solvent, treatment of the cyclization product with water and conversion of the resulting acesulfam-H (II) into the form of a non-toxic salt, which comprises, in the work-up by distillation of the resulting crude solvent, after removal of water and low-boilers and recovery of solvent sufficiently pure for reuse in the preparation of compounds (I) and/or (II), directly returning :he remaining, solvent-containing distillation residue, without further purification, into the system downstream of the reaction vessel for carrying out the ring closure reaction.
Abstract:
Prodn. of catalysts (I) involves (a) washing the ignited support particles with an acid which does not react with silica or alumina, until no more binder cations are washed out, (b) impregnating with Pd and Au or Cd, (c) contacting with a soln. of a base until there is no further change in the thickness of the noble metal layer produced on the particle surface and (d) impregnating with an alkali cpd. Catalyst contains Pd and/or Pd cpds. and alkali cpds., together with Cd cpds. and/or Au or Au cpds., on particles of a SiO2 or SiO2/Al2O3 substrate which is obtd. by pressing with the binder aid consisting of Li, Mg, Al, Zn, Fe and/or Mn 2-26C carboxylate(s), and igniting for 0.25-5 hrs. at 500-900 deg. C in oxgyen-contg. gas, to give a prod. with surface area 50-250 m2/g, pore vol. 0.4-1.2 ml/g and particle size 1-15mm, in which 5-20 vol. % of the pores have radius = 200-3000 Angstrom and 50-90 vol. % have radius = 70-100 Angstrom. Acid in (a) is pref. HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4 or HNO3, pref. HCl, the base in (c) is an alkali hydroxide, and a potassium cpd. is used in stage (d). Pref. (I) is obtd. by mixing glass microspheres (silica/alumina; at least 95 wt. % silica; obtd. by flame hydrolysis) with 10-20C Mg or Al carboxylate, pressing and igniting as above to give 5-7mm pellets, washing for 10-14 hours, with 10-20% HCl, drying impregnating with a soln. of PdCl2 and AuCl3 or Cd salt (chloride, nitrate etc.), precipitating with NaOH soln., impregnating with KOAc and drying; vinyl acetate prodn. is carried out at 120-200 deg. C and 1-20 bar, using a gas mixt. contg. not above 10 vol. % oxygen.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the isolation of vinyl acetate which involves not combining the bottom product of the recylced gas washings with the water-saturated vinyl acetate but rather introducing it to further multiple distillation columns from the gas mixture formed in the reaction of ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen over catalysts containing palladium or palladium compounds in the gas phase.
Abstract:
Unsaturated esters of carboxylic acids are prepared by reacting olefines or cycloolefines with carboxylic acids and oxygen in the gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst containing noble metal salts or noble metals of the VIIIth group of the Periodic System and alcali metal salts and/or alcaline earth metal salts, as activators the content of noble metal being in the range of from 1.2 to 5% by weight and the proportion of the metal fraction of each individual activator to the noble metal content being in the range of from 0.5 to 1 to 3:1.
Abstract:
Process for preparing alkanephosphonic anhydrides of the formula (I) (see formula I) where R is straight-chain or branched unsubstituted C1-C6-alkyl and n .gtoreq. 3, which comprises pyrolytically eliminating water from an alkanephosphonic acid of the formula (II) or a pyroalkanephosphonic acid of the formula (III) (see formula II,III) where R is straight-chain or branched Cl-C6-alkyl, without addition of solvent and removing the water from the reaction mixture by means of an inert gas stream.
