Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing biphenols of general formula (I) by reacting monophenols of general formula (II), wherein the radicals R1, R2 and R3 independently represent hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl, with 1 - 10 C-atoms, in the presence of an oxidation agent in a reactor. Said method is characterised in that a) the reactor does not contain any stationary integrated components which act as a current agitator, b) a maximum of 0,6 mol of oxidation agents are used per mol of monophenol, and c) the oxidation agent is added in a continuous or discontinuous manner in a plurality of portions within a time span of between 10 min - 24 hours, whereby the amount of oxidation agent which is added per time unit is not constant over the entire tine span, but is varied.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for extractive separation of nickel (0) complexes with phosphorous ligands, from a reaction product of a hydrocyanation of unsaturated mononitriles to give dinitriles, by means of extraction with a hydrocarbon, wherein a phase separation of the hydrocarbon and the nitrile-containing solution into two phases occurs, by addition of a polar additive to the reaction product (feed stream) and/or the extraction stage.
