Abstract:
Nitrous ester is prepd. in vapor phase reaction. Nitrous ester is a colorless liquid, which is useful as a stabilizer for vinyl compd., a chemical for synthesis and a spasmolytic. Nitrogen oxide composition whose NO/NO2 molar ratio is more than one is evaporated, and then the evaporated nitrogen oxide composition is reacted with evaporated methanol (or ethanol) to give methyl nitrite(or ethyl nitrite). This reaction is performed in a diluent gas, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
Abstract:
ETHYLBENZENE AND BENZENE ARE PRODUCED FROM TOLUENE BY A UNIQUE PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES FIRST COUPLING THE TOLUENE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HEAT, USING ELEMENTAL SULFUR. THE PRODUCTS OF THE COUPLING REACTION ARE BIBENZYL, STILBENE AND SOME SULFUR-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS. THE ENTIRE PRODUCT OF THE COUPLING REACTION IS THEN SUBJECTED TO A COMBINED HYDRODESULFURIZATION AND HYDROALKYLATION REACTION TO PRODUCE ETHYLBENZENE AND BENZENE AS THE ULTIMATE MAJOR PRODUCTS.
Abstract:
ETHYLBENZENE AND BENZENE ARE PRODUCED FROM TOLUENE BY A UNIQUE PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES FIRST COUPLING THE TOLUENE IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST AND IN THE VAPOR PHASE TO PRODUCE BIBENZYL AND STILBENE. THE OXIDATIVELY COUPLED PRODUCTS ARE THEN DILUTED WITH BENZENE AND CATALYTICALLY HYDRODEALKYLATED TO PRODUCE ETHYLBENZENE AND BENZENE AS THE ULTIMATE MAJOR PRODUCTS.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparing a diester of oxalic acid by contacting carbon monoxide and an ester of nitrous acid in the vapor state under a pressure in the presence of a supported palladium monolith catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention deals with a process for preparing a diester of oxalic acid from carbon monoxide and an ester of nitrous acid in the vapor phase under a pressure in the presence of a special palladium supported catalyst. The catalyst is a solid palladium supported catalyst comprising metallic palladium or a salt thereof deposited on a nonacidic carrier, such as alpha-alumina, having a surface area of less than about 10 square meters per gram. This process provides an increased conversion to the diester product, a longer catalyst life and less by-product formation.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for cleaving a polyalkylene glycol. e.g., diethylene glycol, containing at least one ether group therein at a carbon-to-oxygen covalent bond by heating the polyalkylene glycol with molecular hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, e.g., copper chromite, to produce both monoethylene glycol and ethanol.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for selectively cleaving a polyalkylene glycol, e.g., diethylene glycol, containing at least one ether group therein at a carbon-to-oxygen covalent bond and independently at a carbon-to-carbon covalent bond by heating the polyalkylene glycol with molecular hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst containing nickel to produce at least one of monoethylene glycol monomethyl ether, monoethylene glycol and ethanol. Monoethylene glycol monomethyl ether can be produced in predominant amounts by employing the process of this invention.
