2-Methylpropane-1,3-diol is prepared by reacting 2-methylenepropane-1,3-diol diacetate with a monohydric, lower aliphatic alcohol in the presence of a base. Thereafter the resulting 2-methylenepropane-1,3 diol is catalytically hydrogenated to form 2-methylpropane-1,3-diol.

In the preparation of isoprene by reacting isobutene with formaldehyde to produce 4,4-dimethyl-m-dioxane in a first stage, and decomposing the dioxane to isoprene and formaldehyde in a second stage, formaldehyde in the effluent streams of either or both of said stages is recovered. The formaldehyde-containing liquids are distilled to separate high boilers; the overhead, which is formaldehyde-rich, is extracted with isobutene feed to the process, whereby the isobutene extracts low boilers from the formaldehyde-containing liquid; and the formaldehyde-containing liquid, having at some point after said distillation been treated with an alkaline material, is subjected to rectification to produce as head product, the recovered formaldehyde.

摘要:
Producton of cyclopentene by splitting of dicyclopentadiene to produce cyclopentadiene and hydrogenating the cyclopentadiene to produce the cyclopentene in crude form, and distilling the crude cyclopentene to separate low boilers and high boilers therefrom and provide the cyclopentene product. The high boilers are recycled to the dicyclopentadiene splitting stage and serve to reduce resin formation in that stage. The process is particularly effective where the dicyclopentadiene has a low content of the so-called "codimers" which, if present in sufficient amount, would reduce resin formation.
摘要:
A process has been found for the preparation of anthraquinone by catalytic oxidation of naphthalene in the gas phase to provide a reaction product, obtained by quenching, cooling or quenching and cooling, containing naphthaquinone and phthalic anhydride, treating said reaction product directly with butadiene to provide tetrahydroanthraquinone, oxidation by means of molecular oxygen to the tetrahydroanthraquinone contained in this reaction product, to give anthraquinone, and separation of naphthalene, phthalic anhydride, anthraquinone and by-products by distillation, the gases produced in the quenching and/or cooling of the gases from the naphthalene oxidation and the gases from the oxidation of the tetrahydroanthraquinone to give anthraquinone being completely or partially recycled to the oxidation of naphthalene, in which a compound with an alkaline reaction is introduced between the reactor in which naphthalene is oxidized and the reactor in which the reaction with butadiene takes place, and/or into the gas streams which are recycled to the oxidation of naphthalene.The process of the invention reduces considerably the formation of higher-boiling products formed in the continuous preparation of anthraquinone from naphthalene and increases the selectivity of the conversion of naphthalene to anthraquinone. In addition, the process of the invention provides greater freedom in separation of the reaction products since the production of troublesome high-boilers is minimized; and the process results in a reduced formation of carbon dioxide in the oxidation of naphthalene.
摘要:
To isolate naphthoquinone and phthalic anhydride from the gas obtained in the gas phase oxidation of naphthalene, the gas product at 250.degree. to 500.degree. C is first quenched with a counter-current liquid stream of naphthalene, naphthoquinone and phthalic anhydride. The liquid is raised to at most 200.degree. C, cooled and partly recycled, the coolant temperature being within 70.degree. C of the temperature of the liquid being cooled. The portion of the quench liquid which is not recycled is the product, viz. a solution of naphthoquinone and phthalic anhydride in naphthalene. The quenched gas is scrubbed with liquid naphthalene and most of the liquid product is cooled and re-cycled, the balance of the liquid product being passed to the quencher. The gas which leaves the scrubber is substantially free from naphthoquinone and phthalic anhydride. The initial gas may have been pre-cooled by evaporative cooling. The surfaces of the quencher, cooler and pipes of the quenching system are preferably of stainless steel or are smoothed either mechanically or by coating with plastic, enamel, ceramic or metal.
