Abstract:
The invention is directed to methods of producing alkoxylated or hydroxylated terpenes comprising the steps of continuously passing a solution comprising an alcohol in combination with a terpene over an acidic resin catalyst in a packed bed reactor in order to yield a product, as well as compounds that are the products of the methods described herein.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to uses of vanadium to convert aldehydes and ozonides into their respective acids and/or ketones. More particularly, this invention relates to the oxidative work-ups following ozonolysis using vanadium during ozonolysis, and using vanadium to oxidize aldehydes in general. The invention also relates to methods comprising the ozonolysis of oleyl alcohol in the presence of either an acid or an alcohol.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the synthesis of intermediate compounds which can be used in the synthesis of mint lactone and related compounds, including 3,6-dimethylhexahydrobenzofuran-2-ones, isomers, and other derivatives.
Abstract:
The application relates to macrocyclic compounds and related polymers, as well as to processes for synthesizing them, e.g., using olefins as starting material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for safe and efficient use of hydrogen and oxygen in ozonolysis operations. The invention also relates to an ozonolysis process involving elements of both reductive and oxidative ozonolysis which are integrated in a continuous process. In one embodiment, the ozonolysis process of the present invention uses hydrogen and/or oxygen generated from water and electricity, which may be recycled to generate water and/or electricity.
