摘要:
A process for the preparation of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol dibenzoate or di(alkyl-substituted) benzoates by transesterification of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol or esters of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol with esters of benzoic acid or alkyl-substituted benzoic acids while removing volatile alcohol or ester by-product, comprising transesterifying 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol or an ester of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol and one or more mono-carboxylic acids having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof, with an ester having the formula
wherein R=a C₁-C₄ alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group and R¹, R¹¹, R¹¹¹, and R¹¹¹¹ are any combination of H and alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalytic amount of one or more basic compounds selected from the group consisting of the hydroxides, alkoxides, glycolates, amides, hydrides, and other comparably strongly basic anionic species of the alkali and alkaline earth (excluding magnesium) metals, and quaternary ammonium hydroxides and alkoxides, whereby the diester is obtained in high yield. Mono- and di-esters of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol and benzoic acids are useful plasticizers for vinyl chloride polymers, and other polymers, particularly for imparting improved stain resistance to plasticized compositions.
摘要:
A process for removing contaminants from PET components by depolymerising poly ethylene terephthalate ('PET') comprising transesterifying material containing PET by reacting ethanediol having a temperature at or about the boiling point of ethanediol with the material for a predetermined period of time to form a solution containing soluble short chain PET polymers and/or bis (hydroxy ethyl) terephthalate ester ('BHT'); recovering short chain PET polymers and/or BHT and ethanediol; and hydrolysing the recovered short chain PET polymers and/or BHT at elevated pressure and temperature for a predetermined period of time to form an ethanediol solution and crystals of terephthalic acid.
摘要:
Esters of monocarboxylic acids are transesterified with 1,2- and 1,3-polyols by reaction in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a dialkyltin oxide blended with an excess of dialkyltin dichloride, so that a polyol ester of the monocarboxylic acid is formed. A transesterification reaction of alcohols and polyols with methyl or ethyl mono- or polycarboxylic acid esters utilizing a dimethyltin catalyst is also disclosed, in which the alcohol or polyol carboxylic acid ester formed is essentially free of the organotin catalyst. Carboxylic acid esters produced by the described methods, as well as carboxylic acid esters that are free of organotin catalysts are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method for recovering dimethyl naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (DMN) from a mixture of dimethyl naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (DMN) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), which comprises recrystallizing said mixture in a mixed medium of ethylene glycol and methanol, said mixed medium containing 10 to 60 % by weight of ethylene glycol, and separating precipitated dimethyl naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (DMN). According to this invention, DMN can be recovered with high yield from a mixture of DMN and DMT which is obtained from depolymerization of a mixed polymer of polyethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate and polyethylene terephthalate.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a process for the transesterification of carboxylic acid esters, in which process a catalyst is used which is substantially insoluble in the reaction mixture under reaction conditions, said catalyst comprising at least one silicate of the Group IVB elements of the Periodic Table as the active component.
