Abstract:
A process for the separation of butanol and butoxyacetaldehyde which involves subjecting a composition which contains these two compounds to a distillation at a pressure of at most 660 mbar. According to a special embodiment the composition to be distilled contains as essential components water, butanol, butoxyacetaldehyde, butylglycol and, if desired, also butyraldehyde.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel substituted cyclohexanol compounds possessing a sandalwood aroma which are useful as fragrance materials. The invention also provides methods for synthesis thereof through a novel aldehyde intermediate. The compounds of the invention have the formula: ##STR1## wherein A is ##STR2## and wherein R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl, R.sub.2 -R.sub.7 are independently hydrogen or methyl with the proviso that a maximum of two of the substituents R.sub.2 -R.sub.7 are methyl, and R.sub.8 is hydrogen, lower alkyl (C.sub.1 to C.sub.5) or acyl. The invention also provides fragrance compositions which utilize the compounds of the invention to impart a sandalwood aroma to perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for reducing carbonylation of an aldehyde wherein the aldehyde is used as hemiacetalester, the reaction being conducted in the presence of a catalyst consisting of a cobalt carbonyl complex.The hemiacetal-ester may be formed in situ by reacting an acetal with an anhydride of acid.The process preferentially yields alkylene-glycol mono-esters, free of esterified, for a ratio H.sub.2 /CO ranging from 1:1 to 3:1 and preferentially 2-alkoxy aldehydes, for a ratio H.sub.2 /CO ranging from 0.1:1 to 0.5:1.
Abstract:
The preparation of 1,4-butandial (succindialdehyde) is obtained using acrolein. The acrolein is first converted with an alkanol into 3,3-dialkoxy-1-propene and this is then hydroformylated in the presence of hydridotristriphenylphosphine-rhodiumcarbonyl mixed with triphenylphosphine or triphenylphosphite as the catalyst. The thereby obtained 4,4-dialkoxy-butanal is removed from the hydroformylation product by means of distillation and is then hydrolyzed to 1,4-butandial.
