A process for oxidizing an organic compound having at least one C—C double bond or a mixture of two or more thereof comprises the following steps: (I) preparing a hydroperoxide, (II) reacting an organic compound having at least one C—C double bond or a mixture of two or more thereof with the hydroperoxide prepared in step (I) in the presence of a zeolite catalyst, (III) regenerating the at least partially deactivated zeolite catalyst used in step (II), and (IV) conducting the reaction of step (II) using a zeolite catalyst containing the catalyst regenerated in step (III).
摘要:
A structured packing for heat exchange and mass transfer between a liquid and a gas in a column having at least one packing layer with a first, lower end and a second, upper end is described, the packing layer having an internal geometry which varies over its height so that by suitably setting the liquid and gas flow rates in a first, in particular lower, region of the packing layer a bubbling layer having a predominantly disperse gas phase forms in a targeted manner and simultaneously in a second, in particular upper, region of the packing layer a film flow of the liquid having a predominantly continuous gas phase forms in a targeted manner.

摘要:
3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-al of formula I is prepared continuously by: thermally cleaving, in the presence or absence of an acid catalyst, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-al diprenyl acetal of formula II: thereby eliminating 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol of formula III and yielding cis/trans-prenyl 3-methylbutadienyl ether of formula IV: thermally rearranging the resultant butadienyl ether of formula IV thereby yielding 2,4,4-trimethyl-3-formyl-1,5-hexadiene of formula V: subsequently rearranging intermediate (V) thereby yielding citral product of formula I, which comprises: as the reaction proceeds, continuously distilling the reaction mixture thereby continuously removing prenol, which is formed by degradation of acetal II, and the intermediates of formula IV and V and any citral product which is formed during the reaction; and thermally rearranging said intermediates of formula IV and V at a temperature of 100-200° C. in the absence or presence of said prenol to form citral product.
