Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of higher ketones by reacting an aldehyde with a ketone in the presence of hydrogen over a catalyst system which contains, firstly, oxides or salts of the rare earth metals and, secondly, metals of group VIII of the periodic table of the elements. The process gives numerous higher ketones, required, for example, as solvents for surface coatings, or as scents, with high conversions and good selectivities, and therefore more simply and more economically than conventional methods.
Abstract:
Dyes of the formula ##STR1## where X is chlorine or bromine, Y is ##STR2## and n is 0, 1 or 2. On synthetic fiber materials, the dyes give clear blue colorations which are very fast to thermofixing and fast to light.
Abstract:
Novel 4-(m,m'-di-t-butyl-p-hydroxyphenyl)-butyl-2 compounds which are intermediates in the manufacture of dyes, pesticides and plastics auxiliaries, particularly stabilizers for polyolefins and polyamides. When molten, they form specific solvents for alkylphenols and are perfumes or form ingredients of perfume compositions having a fruity odor.
Abstract:
Novel 4-(m,m'-di-t-butyl-p-hydroxyphenyl)-butyl-2 diamides of aliphatic, araliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acids which are intermediates in the manufacture of dyes, pesticides and plastics auxiliaries, particularly stabilizers for polyolefins and polyamides. When molten, they form specific solvents for alkylphenols and are perfumes or form ingredients of perfume compositions having a fruity odor.
Abstract:
A process for removing formaldehyde from aqueous solutions of but-2-yne-1,4-diol by treating the solutions with an alkaline agent at an elevated temperature in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
Abstract:
Aldehydes or ketones of not less than 4 or 5 carbon atoms, respectively, are manufactured in a one stage process in the liquid phase by subjecting aldehydes and/or ketones of not less than 2 or 3 carbon atoms, respectively, to an aldol condensation and hydrogenating the resulting olefinically unsaturated aldehyde, the catalyst used for the aldol condensation and hydrogenation containing nickel or cobalt or their mixtures, zinc oxide and at least one of the elements iron, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, gallium, indium, thallium, germanium, tin, lead, cadmium and mercury or compounds of the said elements.
Abstract:
Diketones are prepared by oxidizing glycols in the presence of a silver catalyst and/or copper catalyst of a specific particle size, under specific temperature conditions and with a specific composition of the catalyst. The end products are starting materials for the preparation of dyes, drugs, plastics, scents, wrinkle-resist finishes and assistants for increasing the tear strength and resilience of fibrous materials, hardeners for use in the photographic industry, textile assistants for preventing shrinkage after washing, and paper assistants.
Abstract:
Aromatic and araliphatic aldehydes are prepared by oxidizing corresponding alcohols with oxygen in the presence of a silver catalyst of a defined particle size, and under defined temperature conditions. The products are starting materials for the preparation of dyes, pesticides, plastics and scents.

Abstract:
New bis-[4-(m,m'-di-tert.-butyl-p-hydroxyphenyl)-butyl-(2)] dicarboxylic acid esters which are starting materials for the manufacture of dyes, pesticides and additives for plastics, especially stabilizers for polyolefins and polyamides, and are themselves stabilizers, aging retardants or antioxidants for organic products.
