Abstract:
The invention provides a process for preparing polyetheramines of the formula (1) R2(NR1R3)n in which n is a number from 1 to 20, R2 represents an organic radical that contains between 2 and 600 oxalkylene groups, and R1 and R3 are alike or different and represent hydrogen or an organic radical having 1 to 400 carbon atoms, by combining a compound of the formula (2) with a compound of the formula (3) R2 (OH)n (3) in the presence of hydrogen with a metal-containing catalyst whose metal content, based on the dry, reduced catalyst excluding any support material that may be present, is composed either of at least 80% by mass of cobalt or, in the case of Raney catalysts, of at least 80% by mass of metals from the group consisting of cobalt and aluminium, the catalyst containing less than 5% by mass of copper.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing electronic grade 2,2'-aminoethoxyethanol by reacting diethylene glycol with ammonia in a reactor in the presence of a catalyst, thereby obtaining a reaction mixture. A crude 2,2'-aminoethoxyethanol stream is separated from said mixture and is purified by distillation in a pure product column. The method according to the invention is characterized by drawing off from the pure product column a side stream that contains electronic grade 2,2'-aminoethoxyethanol. For this purpose, the diethylene glycol is guided across a filter having a separation degree of at least 99% for solid particles with a maximum particle size of ≤1.5 μm before it is supplied to the reactor.
Abstract:
An efficient cost-effective process for preparation of l-erythro-2-amino-1-phenyl-1-propanol from l-1-phenyl-1-hydroxy-2-propanone, which comprises converting l-1-phenyl-1-hydroxy-2-propanone to l-1-phenyl-1-hydroxy-2-propanone oxime and reducing the oxime with a catalyst consisting of finely divided nickel and aluminium metals giving good diastereomeric purity and yield.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing ethylene amines and ethanol amines by the hydrogenating amination of monoethylene glycol and ammonia in the presence of a catalyst. Said method is characterised in that it takes place in two stages: in the first stage, amination takes place on a hydroamination catalyst until a maximum monoethylene glycol yield of 40 % is obtained; and in the second stage a supported catalyst is used, which has an active mass containing ruthenium and cobalt, but no additional metal from group VIII and no metal from group IB, said catalyst having the form of catalyst moulded bodies. If said bodies are spherical or in the form of bars, their respective diameters are
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of hydroxy (cycloalkane/cyclokene) phenylethyl amine of the general formula (III) comprising alkylation of its precursor amine of general formula (II) which is in turn produced by an effective reduction process from its precursor cyanide having the general formula (I) using Raney Nickel (CORMIII) as catalyst where, either of R5 and R6 independently could be in meta or para position and R5, R6 are independently hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxy, alkanoyloxy, cyano, nitro, alkylmercapto, amino, alkylamino, allkanamido, halo, trifluoromethyl, or taken together methylenedioxy, n is 0,1,2,3,4; R7 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1-7 carbon atom, R1 I H or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atom and R2 is alkyl of 1-3 carbon atom, the dotted line represents optional unsaturation. Compounds of formulae IV, V and VI are respectively derivatives of compounds I, II and III respectively.
