Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for reacting compounds, comprising at least one carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom double bond, by 1,2-addition in the presence of a catalyst, comprising at least one transition metal complex having at least two ligands, which each have a pnicogen atom-containing group and at least one functional group enable to form intermolecular, non-covalent bonds, in the presence of a halogenated solvent, which has at least one heteroatom different from halogen. The present invention further relates to a method for producing chiral compounds in the presence of the above-described catalysts and solvents, and to the use of these catalysts in the presence of such solvents.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for hydrogenating 4,4'-methylenedianiline and/or polymer MDA with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst that contains ruthenium on a zirconium oxide carrier material, as well as to the use of a catalyst containing ruthenium on a zirconium oxide carrier material for hydrogenating 4,4'-methylenedianiline and/or polymer MDA.
Abstract:
A composition comprising compound (I) of formula and compound (II) of formula wherein R2a and R2b independently from each other are a linear alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R1a, R1b, R3a to R6a and R3b to R6b independently from each other are a hydrogen atom or a linear alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a cyclic isocyanate (B) on the basis of a composition (Z) which has at least one component (A) that has at least one cycloalkane ring with at least four ring carbon atoms. The cycloalkane ring has two NH 2 groups in the β-position or γ-position relative to each other as substituents, and the two NH 2 groups in the β-position or γ-position relative to each other assume a trans-configuration relative to each other if the total quantity of component (A) is over 50 mol.%. The composition (Z) is reacted with phosgene in the method according to the invention, thereby obtaining a composition (ZP) which has at least one cyclic isocyanate (B) with isocyanate groups. The invention further relates to the use of the isocyanate mixture (M) as monomers in methods for producing polymers, in particular for producing polyurethane and polyureas.
