Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing polyisocyanates from natural raw material sources by starting from a biomass material and preparing a composition which comprises low molecular mass aromatics that contain per molecule at least one hydroxyl group or at least one alkoxy group (oxyaromatics), reacting these oxyaromatics to form the corresponding aromatic amines, and, optionally after condensation with formaldehyde, carrying out further reaction with phosgene to form compounds containing isocyanate groups.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing o-chloromethyl benzenecarbonyl chlorides of formula (I), wherein R1-R4 can be the same or different and stand for hydrogen, C¿1?-C4-alkyl, halogen or trifluoromethyl, by converting benzocondensed lactones of formula (II), wherein R?1-R4¿ have the aforementioned meaning, with gaseous or liquid phosgene and the dimers or trimers thereof. The inventive method is characterised in that the conversion is carried out in the presence of catalytical amounts of a Lewis acid and catalytical amounts of a phosgenation catalyst.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for regenerating a ruthenium catalyst for the hydrogenation of phthalates, which comprises flushing the catalyst with inert gas in a regeneration step until the original activity or part of the original activity is attained.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing N-(1-alkenyl)carboxamides of the formula I, wherein a carboxamide of the formula II is reacted with an alkyne of the formula III in the presence of a catalyst which is selected from carbonyl complexes, the halides or oxides of rhenium, of manganese, of tungsten, of molybdenum, of chromium and of iron.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for hydrogenating substituted or 5 unsubstituted mononuclear or multinuclear aromatics to form corresponding cycloaliphatics, especially benzole to form cyclohexane, by bringing the aromatic into contact with a gas containing hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, using hydrogen containing residual gases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for regenerating a ruthenium catalyst for the hydrogenation of phthalates, which comprises flushing the catalyst with inert gas in a regeneration step until the original activity or part of the original activity is attained.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing 1,2-propandiol, wherein a flow containing glycerine, in particular a flow produced on an industrial scale during the production of biodiesel, is subjected to hydrogenation in a two-step reactor cascade.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing isocyanates by reacting the corresponding primary amines with phosgene in an inert solvent, while using 0.01 to 50 mole percent of a sulfoxide, a sulfone or mixtures thereof, based on the total quantity of the primary amine and isocyanate produced in the reaction solution.
Abstract:
The present application describes a process for regenerating a ruthenium catalyst for the hydrogenation of benzene, which comprises flushing the catalyst with inert gas in a regeneration step until the original or part of the original activity is attained.
