Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF PIPERIDINE IS DESCRIBED IN WHICH 4-CYANOBUTYRALDEHYDE IS HYDROGENATED IN THE PRESENCE OF A SUITABLE CATALYST AND AMMONIA.
Abstract:
A process for preparing 3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrocoumarin is disclosed, wherein 2-( Beta -carboxyethyl)-cyclohexanone is heated in the presence of catalytic amount of a strong acid having a atmospheric boiling point above 200*C at a temperature of 140*-245*C and a pressure of 6-200 mm Hg. The hexahydrocoumarin product may be dehydrogenated to form dihydrocoumarin which is used in the perfume industry.
Abstract:
A process for dehydrogenating hexahydrocoumarin or alkylated derivatives thereof is disclosed, wherein the selection of specific process conditions allows substantial amounts of coumarin or alkylated derivatives thereof to be produced along with dihydrocoumarin or alkylated derivatives thereof. The hexahydrocoumarin or derivatives are contacted with the catalyst at about the dehydrogenation temperature and then are dehydrogenated in the presence of a Group VIII metal dehydrogenation catalyst in the liquid phase at a temperature of 200*-375*C while removing hydrogen from the reaction zone, and the reaction product contains coumarin or alkylated derivatives thereof in a molar ratio of coumarin compounds:dihydrocoumarin compounds of at least 1:5. Coumarin and dihydrocoumarin, as well as alkylated derivatives thereof, are known compounds which are used in the fragance industry.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF (2-CYANOETHYL) KETONES BY THE HYDROLYSIS OF THE CORRESPONDING (2-CYANOETHYL)-N-SUBSITUTED KETOIMINE WITH THE SUBSEQUENT RECOVERY OF A PRIMARY AMINE, THE PRIMARY AMINE BOILING AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN WATER AND/OR FORMING WITH WATER AN AZEOTROPE BOILING AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN WATER AND CARRYING ON ITS NITROGEN ATOM THE SAME GROUP AS THAT OF THE NITROGEN ATOM OF THE CORRESPONDING KETOIMINE IS DISCLOSED. WHEN THE RESULTING KETONE IS 5-CYANOPENTANONE-2 THIS MAY BE USED AS A STARTING PRODUCT FOR THE PREPARATION OF A-PIPECOLINE.

1,138,360. Nitric esters of polyalkanols. STAMICARBON N.V. 26 Sept., 1966 [1 Oct., 1965], No. 42957/66. Heading C2C. Polyhydric alkanols are esterified with nitric acid by reacting with a nitrating acid in a liquid sulphur dioxide medium. Glycerol di- and trinitrates, ethylene glycol dinitrate and diethylene glycol dinitrate are specified and the nitrating acid is a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acid or anhydride with a preferred nitric acid content of 38-43 mol. per cent. The autogenous oxidation of liquid sulphur dioxide removes the heat generated during esterification.
