Abstract:
This invention relates to processes for making nitro compounds derived from C2-C30 unsaturated fatty acids; C2-C30 unsaturated fatty oils; esters derived from the reaction of C1-C20 alcohols with unsaturated C2-C30 fatty acids; C2-C20 polyolefins; C4-C20 polydiolefins; C8-C20 copolymers derived from polyolefins and vinyl aromatics; and C4-C30 alkylated phenols using nitric acid or gaseous nitrogen dioxide. This class of extreme-pressure additives was found extremely effective in processing steel, stainless steel and special titanium and nickel or low-iron alloys.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for the isothermal nitration of aromatic organic compounds, wherein an aromatic organic compound is brought into contact and reacted with a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and the aromatic organic compound are brought into contact with each other through a mixing nozzle which comprises a substantially cylindrical tubular reactor and an annular gap which surrounds the tubular reactor. The aromatic organic compound flows through the tubular reactor, and the mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid flows through the annular gap, and they are mixed together upon emerging from the tubular reactor and the annular gap, wherein the ratio of the average rates of flow of the aromatic organic compound in the tubular reactor, and of the mixture of sulphuric acid and nitric acid in the annular gap ranges from 0.5:1 to 10:1.
Abstract:
A catalyst includes a cyclic imide compound having an N-substituted cyclic imide skeleton represented by following Formula (I): wherein X is an oxygen atom or a hydroxyl group, and having a solubility parameter of less than or equal to 26 [(MPa) 1/2] as determined by Fedors method. The catalyst may further comprise a metallic compound. By allowing (A) a compound capable of forming a radical to react with (B) a radical scavenging compound in the presence of the catalyst, an addition or substitution reaction product between the compound (A) and the compound (B) or a derivative thereof can be obtained.
Abstract:
A process to produce 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)nitrobenzene in a high yield from an industrially easily available material by using a substance with which the reaction operation is simple and handling is easy, with a small number of steps under moderate reaction conditions, is provided. 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene is nitrated by means of nitric acid in a solvent comprising as an essential component an acid selected from sulfuric acid having a sulfuric acid concentration of from 91 to 100 mass % and fuming sulfuric acid having a sulfur trioxide concentration of higher than 0 mass % and at most 20 mass %.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the process for vapor phase nitration of o-xylene using dilute nitric acid over H-beta zeolite. More particularly it relates to the selective formation of 4-nitro o-xylene by vapor phase nitration of 0-xylene using dilute nitric acid over commercially available H-beta catalyst. The continuous process of nitration of o-xylene comprises of a reaction carried out in a downflow reactor using o-xylene and dilute nitric acid with mole ratio of 2:1 to 1:2 and WHSV of 0.1-0.5 at 100-250° C. at atmospheric pressure.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the nitration of xylene isomers by using zeolite-beta as a catalyst. This invention particularly relates to a process for the nitration of xylenes using solid acid catalyst, thus totally eliminating the disposal of spent acid and salts. Herein we describe the nitration of disubstituted benzenes, all the isomers of xylene, by employing nitric acid and beta zeolite catalyst dispensing the use of acetic anhydride. The reactions were performed at temperatures ranging from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent
Abstract:
A process for the nitration of conjugated alkenes of formula (I) wherein R, R1, R2, R3 and R4 have the meanings reported in the description, which allows to obtain the corresponding null-nitro-alkenes, characterised in that the nitrating agent is a mixture of an inorganic nitrite and iodine in the presence of an oxidising agent is described. 1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a continuous adiabatic process for preparing nitrochlorobenzene in the presence of phosphoric acid. The waste acid produced during the practice of the process is reconcentrated and recycled into the nitration reaction.
