Abstract:
The present invention to a process for preparing 2-alkenals of the formula I in which R1 is selected from hydrogen and C1-C4-alkyl; and R2 is selected from hydrogen, C1-C12-alkyl, C2-C12-alkenyl, C4-C8-cycloalkyl and C6-C10-aryl, wherein C1-C12-alkyl and C1-C12-alkenyl may be substituted with C5-C7-cycloalkyl or C5-C7-cylcoalkenyl; comprising dehydrogenating an alkenol of the formula II, an alkenol of the formula III or a mixture thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are each as defined above, wherein the alkenol II, the alkenol III or a mixture thereof is brought into contact with a catalytic system comprising at least one ligand and a metal compound selected from ruthenium(II) compounds and iridium(I) compounds, and wherein the hydrogen formed during the dehydrogenation is removed from the reaction mixture by: v) reaction with a reoxidant selected from C3-C12-alkanones, C4-C9-cycoalkanones, benzaldehyde and mixtures thereof; and/or vi) purely physical means.
Abstract:
The presently claimed invention relates to a process for the recovery of 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol from a stream obtained in the production of 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol from 2-methylprop-1-ene and formaldehyde, by treating the stream with an amine catalyst.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing an unsaturated alcohol, preferably 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal, by contacting an alkene, preferably isobutene, with formaldehyde in the presence a condensation catalyst comprising a zeolitic material comprising the framework structure of which comprises a tetravalent element Y other than Si.
Abstract:
The presently claimed invention relates to a process for the recovery of 3-methyl-3-buten- -ol from a stream comprising (Z)-3-methylpent-2-ene-1,5-diol, (E)-3-methylpent-2-ene-,5-diol and 3-methylenepentane-1,5-diol by treating the stream with isobutene and water.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for producing pseudoionone and hydroxy pseudoionone. It suggests an apparatus (1) comprising first and second substantially vertically oriented reactor chambers oriented such that components flow through the first and second reactor chambers in different directions, wherein the first reactor chamber (13) is configured to receive a first component feed (C1) containing a first aqueous mixture through an inlet (15), and to produce a second aqueous mixture, and wherein the apparatus (1) comprises a mixing device (17) positioned downstream of the first component feed inlet (15) and configured to add a second component feed (C2) to the first component feed (C1) when the second aqueous mixture has formed, and the second reactor chamber (23) is configured to receive the first and second component feeds unified in the mixing device (17) from the first reactor chamber (13) and to produce a third aqueous mixture from the first and second aqueous mixtures. The invention further suggests a method and a use for producing pseudoionone and hydroxy pseudoionone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing 3-methyl-2-butenol (prenol) and 3-methyl-2-butenal (prenal) from 3-methyl-3-butenol (isoprenol), in which 3-methyl-3-butenol is subjected to a catalytic isomerization over a carbon-supported Pd catalyst in the presence of a gas mixture comprising 1% to 15% by volume of oxygen to obtain a first product mixture, and the first product mixture is subjected to an oxidative dehydrogenation over a Pd catalyst comprising SiO2 and/or Al2O3 as support material, or over a carbon-supported Pd/Au catalyst in the presence of a gas mixture comprising 5% to 25% by volume of oxygen.
