    Abstract: A nitration reactor (10) incorporating sections of downward flow for use in preparing nitrated organic compounds. It comprises a first vertically-oriented reactor section (12), a second vertically-oriented reactor section (14), a connecting section (16) between the two reactor sections, one or more inlets (20, 22) for introducing nitration reactants into the reactor, an outlet (24) for the removal of nitration reaction products, a vertically-downward flowpath (26) for the nitration reactants in one of the reactor sections or the connecting section, and operating conditions that produce a flow regime in the vertically-downward flowpath that is a dispersed flow regime or a bubbly flow regime. The invention overcomes the limitations of prior art nitration reactors of the type in which fluids flow largely in a vertically upward direction, with respect to hydrostatic demands and plant layout considerations.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the chemical synthesis of pharmaceutical API, and specifically to a method of synthesizing diclofenac sodium, which is a kind of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for relieving pain. The method includes: nitrating phenylacetate to prepare o-nitrophenylacetate (2); hydrogenating o-nitrophenylacetate (2) to prepare o-aminophenylacetate (3); amidating an amino group of o-aminophenylacetate (3) to obtain 2-(2-benzoylaminophenyl) acetate (4); 2-(2-benzoylaminophenyl) acetate (4) reacting with thionyl chloride to prepare a chloroimine intermediate, and then condensing the intermediate of chloroimine with 2,6-dichlorophenol using an inorganic base to prepare (E)-methyl-2-(2-((2,6-dichlorophenoxy)(phenyl)methyleneamino) phenyl ester (5); subjecting (E)-methyl-2-(2-((2,6-dichlorophenoxy)(phenyl)methyleneamino) phenyl ester (5) to Chapman rearrangement to afford methyl 2-(2-(N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)benzoylamino)phenyl) ester (6); and hydrolyzing methyl 2-(2-(N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)benzoylamino)phenyl) ester (6) to provide the target compound as of diclofenac sodium API. The overall yield is up to 67% based on methyl phenylacetate.

    Abstract: This invention relates to methods for producing chemical products, wherein the one or more feed materials are reacted to form a chemical product or a chemical composition. The invention further relates to plants for performing such methods, said plants being designed in such a way that, during an interruption of the methods, no input of at least one feed material into the reaction occurs and the plant parts not affected by a revision measure, maintenance measure, repair measure, or cleaning measure are operated in so-called re-circulation mode. It is thereby achieved, among other things, that only the affected plant part needs to be shut down for the time of the measure, which can be advantageous with regard to the productivity and economy of the method and the quality of the produced products. Finally, the invention relates to methods for operating plants in the event that individual plant parts are taken out of service.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the continuous production of nitrobenzene by the nitration of benzene with nitric acid and sulphuric acid under adiabatic conditions, not the entire production plant being shut down during a production stop, but the production plant being entirely or at least partly operated in recirculation mode. The invention further relates to a plant for producing nitrobenzene and to a method for operating a plant for producing nitrobenzene.
