Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the hydrocyanation of organic ethylenically unsaturated compounds including at least one nitrile function. The invention specifically relates to a method for the hydrocyanation of a hydrocarbon compound including at least one ethylenic unsaturation by a reaction with hydrogen cyanide in a liquid medium and in the presence of a catalyst including a metal element selected from the transition metals and an organophosphorous ligand, the organophosphorous ligand including a compound of general formula (I), where R1 and R2, which are identical or different, are a linear or branched alkyl radical having 1-12 carbon atoms, which can include heteroatoms, or an optionally substituted aromatic or cycloaliphatic radical that can include heteroatoms, wherein the covalent bond between P and R1, and that between P and R2, are P—C bonds.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing primary diamines from amino acid compounds. Specifically, this invention is related to the preparation of a primary diamine from an amino acid and/or its salt by Kolbe electrolysis coupling reaction.
Abstract:
Process for the manufacture of at least one alcohol and/or at least one ketone, which comprises a step during which at least one organic peroxide compound is put into contact with at least one catalyst responding to formula (I) CrNxOy Formula (I) in which x is a number varying from 0.10 to 1.00 and y is a number varying from 0.00 to 1.50, in order to produce the at least one alcohol and/or at least one ketone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing at least one organic acid comprising oxidizing glycolaldehyde with nitric acid in the presence of a solvent. Advantageously, it is an industrially applicable process, which prepares organic acid, notably glycolic acid and/or glyoxylic acid in a high yield based on bio-based feedstocks.
