Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the hydroxylation of an aromatic compound comprising at least one alkoxy group, comprising a step (a) of reacting said aromatic compound comprising at least one alkoxy group with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst, in a solvent comprising water, an alcohol, or a mixture of alcohols.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to natural vanillin compositions comprising at least one compound chosen from 4-((4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)oxy)-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-5-methoxybenzaldehyde. The invention also relates to a process for obtaining natural vanillin compositions according to the invention.
Abstract:
A process for preparing an aromatic compound or compounds where at least one mandelic group —CHOH—COOH is described, comprising a reaction for condensation of at least one aromatic compound with glyoxylic acid or derivatives thereof, wherein said condensation reaction is carried out substantially in the absence of any acid or any base added to the reaction medium. The condensation reaction is followed by an oxidation reaction in order to obtain aromatic aldehyde.
Abstract:
It relates to a microporous aluminotitanosilicate crystalline zeolite, method of preparation and applications thereof. It extends to a catalytic hydroxylation, by reaction of a compound of formula (I) with H2O2 in the presence of a catalyst comprising the zeolite.
Abstract:
The invention describes a method for separating a mandelic compound in salified form from an aqueous reaction medium resulting from the condensation reaction of a hydroxylated aromatic compound with glyoxylic acid in a basic medium, said method comprising a) decanting said reaction medium in such a way as to recover an organic phase formed from the excess of said aromatic compound and an aqueous phase formed from said mandelic compound and a quantity of the excess of said aromatic compound and b) bringing said aqueous phase into contact with an adsorbent support, resulting in the selective adsorption of said aromatic compound and the recovery of an aqueous flow comprising said mandelic compound in salified form, which is subjected to an oxidation step before being converted into hydroxyaromatic aldehyde by electrodialysis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for hydroxylation of a compound of formula (I) by reacting the compound of formula (I) with an oxidizing agent, in the presence of a titanium silicalite zeolite prepared by crystallization preceded by a maturing step. The present invention also relates to a titanium silicalite zeolite and to the process for preparing same.
