Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of 1,6-difunctionalized hexane derivatives from 1,3-diunsaturated hydrocarbons, preferably butadiene, wherein a hydroformylation with carbon monoxide and hydrogen is performed in the presence of an at least dihydric alkanol and during the hydroformylation the temperature is increased. The reaction yields the acetals of the 1,6-hexanedial derivatives which are isolated and further reacted to obtain the desired 1,6-difunctionalized hexane derivatives, in particular 1,6-hexanediamine, 1,6-hexanediol and adipic acid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing N,N-substituted- 1,3-propandiamine by a) reacting secondary amines with acrolein at a temperature between (-50) - 100°C and at a pressure between 0,01 - 300 bar, and b) reacting the reaction mixture obtained in step a) with hydrogen and ammonia in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst at a temperature between 40 - 400°C and at a pressure of 1 - 400 bar. The invention is characterised in that in step a) the molar ratio of secondary amines to acrolein is 2:1 or more and the hydrogenation catalyst used in step b) contains cobalt. In a preferred embodiment, acrolein that is obtained from glycerin based on renewable raw material is used. The invention also relates to the use of a N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propandiamine (DMAPA) based on renewable raw material as charge material for soft soaps and other detergents, coagulation agents, polymers and comb polymers. In another preferred embodiment, step b) takes place in the presence of water.
Abstract:
The invention relates to 5-isopropyl-3-aminomethyl-2-methyl-1-amino-cyclohexane (carvone diamine) and a method for the production thereof by a) reacting carvone with hydrogen cyanide, b) then reacting the carvone nitrile obtained in step a) with ammonia in the presence of an imine-forming catalyst, and c) subsequently reacting the reaction mixture that is obtained in step b) and contains carvone nitrilimine with hydrogen and ammonia on hydrogenation catalysts. The invention further relates to the use of carvone diamine as a curing agent for epoxy resins, as an intermediate product when producing diisocyanates, as an initiator entity when producing polyetherols, and/or as a monomer for producing polyamides.
