Abstract:
The invention relates to a generally applicable process for the hydroxylation of electrophilic aromatic compounds, according to which the electrophilic aromatic compounds are reacted with organic hydroperoxides in the presence of bases.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel process for effecting an ether interchange reaction by heating together in the presence of a basic catalyst, a nitroaromatic ether or thioether and an organic compound containing at least one hydroxyl or mercapto group. The novelty resides particularly in carrying out the interchange in an inert solvent while sparging the heated reactants thereby to remove at least a portion of solvent along with an evolving alcohol or thiol.The process is particularly adapted to the capping of organic polyols with nitroaromatic ether groups. The capped products are useful as intermediates for the preparation of high molecular weight polyamines which in turn find utility in various polymer applications.
Abstract:
Essentially, a process is described for the preparation of the 1-triazolylethyl ether derivatives, defined in claim 1, of the general formula I ##STR1## which consists in (a) reacting an oxirane of the formula II ##STR2## at temperatures of -20.degree. to +100.degree. C., in the presence of an acid catalyst or an acid condensation agent, with an alcohol of the formula IIIR.sub.3 --OH (III) to give a glycol monoether of the formula IV ##STR3## and (b) subsequently reacting the glycol monoether of the formula IV or one of its esters, in the presence of an acid-binding agent or condensation agent, at temperatures of 0.degree. to 150.degree. C., with a triazole of the formula V ##STR4## the substituents R.sub.1, R.sub.2 ; amd R.sub.3 in the formula II to IV being as defined under formula I and M in formula V being hydrogen or a metal atom. The novel compounds within the scope of formula I and their use are also described.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of a compound of general formula (I): ##STR1## by reacting a compound of general formula (II) ##STR2## (X is halide; rings M and N are optionally substituted) with an optionally substituted phenol in the presence of a base, or with an optionally substituted phenolate salt; preferably in the presence of a catalyst which is a transition metal, a transition metal salt or compound or a mixture thereof.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 1-nitroanthraquinone by oxidising 1-nitro-5,8,11,12-tetrahydroanthraquinone with oxygen, inorganic peroxo compounds or metal oxides.
Abstract:
A process to form alkyl nitroacetates by reacting, in a common solvent and in the presence of a base, a nitroparaffin and a cyanoformate. The desired product is formed by a simple one-step process using inexpensive and readily available reactants.
Abstract:
New substituted phenoxyalkanolamines and phenoxyalkanol-cycloalkylamines of the general formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, which can be identical or different, denote alkyl groups with in each case 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together denote the group --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --, wherein n is the number 4 or 5, R.sup.3 denotes hydrogen, or an alkyl group or an acyl group with in each case 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R.sub.4 denotes an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or the cyclopropylmethyl group and R.sup.5 denotes hydrogen halogen or alkyl, and acid addition salts thereof, have a cardioselective .beta..sub.1 -adrenolytic and hypotensive action. They can be used as medicaments for the treatment of angina pectoris, hypertension and arrhythmias.
Abstract:
Aromatic bromine compounds are prepared by reacting aromatic nitro compounds with elemental bromine in the gas phase at temperatures between about 310.degree. to 550.degree. C. In this reaction, the nitro groups are selectively replaced by bromine; further bromination of the aromatic system beyond that does not take place.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 2,4-dinitrophenyl ethers of the general formula (1) ##STR1## in which R denotes an alkyl(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) or alkoxy(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alky(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4) group by reacting 1 mole of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene in the anhydrous alcohol which is required for the ether formation and is of the general formula (2)R--OH (2)in which R has the abovementioned meaning, in the presence of 1.0 to 3.0 mole of an anhydrous alkali metal carbonate, at temperatures of 20.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., where appropriate under pressure.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of (pentafluoroethoxy)- and (pentafluoroethylthio)benzene derivatives either from phenol, thiophenol or from halobenzene. A halobenzene is reacted with trifluoroethanol or a phenol or a thiophenol is reacted with a compound of the formula CF.sub.3 --CH.sub.2 --O--R'. The product is chlorinated and the chlorinated product is fluorinated in liquid hydrofluoric acid in the presence of a Lewis acid.The compounds obtained by the process of the present invention are used as synthesis intermediates in the phytosanitary, pharmaceutical and veterinary industries, and are used in lubricants.
