Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for purifying 1,4-butynediol, in which 1,4-butynediol is compressed to 50 to 1500 bar and is expanded, one waits for phase separation to end following the expansion process, and the bottom phase is eliminated. Also disclosed is a method for hydrogenating 1,4-butynediol into 1,4-butenediol and 1,4-butanediol with the aid of the purified 1,4-butynediol.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing cyclododecanone by reacting cyclododecen with dinitrogen, especially a method comprising steps (I) and (II): (I) producing cyclododecen by partially hydrating cyclododecatriene; (II) reacting the cyclododecen obtained in step (I) with dinitrogen monoxide, thereby obtaining cyclododecanone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a compound of the general formula (I)
wherein R 1 is C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or -(C=O)-R 3 , R 2 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or -(C=O)-R a , and R 3 and R 4 , independently of one another, are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, a stereoisomer thereof or a mixture of stereoisomers thereof, as an aroma chemical, to aroma chemical compositions comprising at least one compound of the general formula (I), a stereoisomer thereof or a mixture of stereoisomers thereof, and to a method for preparing a fragranced ready-to-use composition, which comprises incorporating at least one compound of the general formula (I), a stereoisomer thereof or a mixture of stereoisomers thereof, into a ready-to-use composition. The present invention further relates to specific ethers and specific esters of the compounds of the general formula (I) and a method for their preparation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing tetrahydrofurane and/or 1,4-butanediol and/or gamma-butyrolactone, in particular a method for producing tetrahydrofurane (THF) from succinic acid, which can be obtained by converting biomasses, by transforming the succinic acid into succinic acid anhydride and by hydrogenating the succinic acid anhydrides, by separating unwanted secondary components.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of adipic acid or at least a resultant product thereof. According to said method, muconic acid is hydrogenated with hydrogen in a reaction zone in the presence of at least one transition metal catalyst (K) and a water-containing liquid (A), the muconic acid being at least partially insoluble in the liquid (A) under the hydrogenation conditions.
