摘要:
To prepare acetic acid and acetic anhydride, methanol and methyl acetate are reacted under anhydrous conditions with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst system containing carbonyl complexes of group VIII noble metals, methyl iodide, an alkali metal acetate or iodide, or quaternary organophosphonium or organoammonium acetate or iodide, The hot carbonylation mixture is decompressed, the evaporated components are fed to a first distillation zone, and the catalyst solution which remains is fed back to the reaction zone. In the first distillation zone, the volatile carbonylation products are subjected to fractional distillation; the low-boiling methyl iodide and methyl acetate pass back into the reaction zone, and the bottom product produced is a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, which is split into the pure components in a second distillation zone and a third distillation zone.
摘要:
A process for removing by product acetone from reaction mixtures obtained by reacting methyl acetate and/or dimethylether with carbon monoxide at elevated temperatures to obtain acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst system consisting essentially of carbonyl complexes of noble metals belonging to group VIII of the Periodic System of the elements, acetic acid, an organophosphorus or organonitrogen compound, and methyl iodide whereby the acetone obtained as a by-product during the reaction is subjected to condensation at temperatures of 50.degree. to 250.degree. C., under pressures of 0.01 to 150 bars and at a molar ratio as above defined for the catalyst system constituent of 1:(25-500):(10-100):(15-150) so as to obtain predominantly higher-boiling secondary products to be distillatively separated in a successive distillation zone together with volatile constituents of the catalyst system.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to a process for separating the catalyst system from reaction mixtures which are obtained by reacting methyl acetate and/or dimethylether with carbon monoxide and optionally hydrogen at elevated temperatures to acetic anhydride and optionally ethylidene diacetate in the presence of a catalyst system consisting of carbonyl complexes of noble metals belonging to group VIII of the Periodic System, acetic acid, an organophosphorus or organonitrogen compound, methyl iodide and optionally compounds of carbonyl-yielding common metals, and which issue from the reaction zone under a pressure of 25 to 150 bars at a temperature of 100.degree. to 250.degree. C. More particularly, the reaction mixture coming from the reaction zone is introduced into a separator heated to 60.degree. to 140.degree. C. and released to a pressure of 0.5 to 3.5 bars with spontaneous evaporation of the bulk of volatile constituents; the stream of liquid matter coming from the separator is delivered to a distilling zone and the bulk of still volatile constituents is distilled off therein under a pressure of 0.05 to 1 bar at a base temperature of 70.degree. to 170.degree. C.; and catalyst solution retained as base product is recycled to the reaction zone.
摘要:
Monomeric acrylic acid is recovered from residues originating from processed crude acrylic acid and containing .beta.-acryloyloxypropionic acid, .beta.-acetoxypropionic acid, hydracrylic acid, dihydracrylic acid and polymeric hydracrylic acid. To this end, the residues are heated to temperatures within the range 130.degree. and 250.degree.C under pressures within the range 0.01 and 1 atmosphere absolute in contact with catalysts selected from alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carboxylates, phosphates or borates, or from alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds producing carboxylates together with the carboxylic acids being contained in the residues.

In order to prepare phenylalanine n-propyl ester hydrochloride, phenylalanine hydrochloride is reacted with n-propanol in the molar ration 1: (5 to 20) at temperatures from 80.degree. to 110.degree. C., preferably 85.degree. to 105.degree. C., at pressures from 0.1 to 1.5 bar in the presence of 0.1 to 0.75 mole of HCl/mole of phenylalanine hydrochloride as catalyst and in the presence of water entrainer, a concentration of water entrainer of 20 to 50% by weight being maintained in the reaction mixture.
