Abstract:
Benzothiazepinone derivatives can be prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of benzothiazoles to give o-amino-thiophenols, isolation thereof by acidification and further reaction with acrylic acids. In this connection, the acidification is carried out using a mineral acid, after which the o-amino-thiophenol is extracted using a water-insoluble solvent and is reacted in this extract with an acrylic acid.
Abstract:
p-Hydroxy-benzaldehydes can be obtained by oxidation of the corresponding p-cresols with oxygen in the presence of basic substances in a solvent, the reaction being carried out in the additional presence of a chelate complex of iron and/or manganese. If desired, the reaction can be carried out in the presence of further metal salts.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of certain aromatic compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R', R" and X have the meaning given in the description,as dielectric liquids for high-energy voltage-storage capacitors, and to dielectric liquids containing these aromatic compounds, for these high-power capacitors.
Abstract:
The invention concerns 4,6-diamino-resorcinol which is prepared in the form of its dihydrochloride by catalytic hydrogenation of 1,3-benzyloxy-4,6-dinitrobenzene on a noble metal contact in a two-phase mixture of dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid and an organic solvent which is not miscible with dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid. This process is carried out at a pressure of between 1 and 200 bar and a temperature of between 0 and 200.degree. C.
Abstract:
Particularly pure di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl 5-nitro-isophthalates are obtained in good yield and in a simple process by dissolving 5-nitro-isophthalic acid in a mixture of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl alcohol and a solvent which is miscible or only partially miscible with water, heating in the presence of a strong acid, thus forming a second, aqueous phase, crystallizing out, after the esterification reaction has ended, the di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl 5-nitro-isophthalate formed from the organic phase by cooling and removing the aqueous phase before or after the di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl 5-nitro-isophthalate is separated off.
Abstract:
2-Amino-6-chlorophenyl-alkylsulfanes are prepared in a particularly advantageous manner by hydrogenating 2-chloro-6-nitrophenyl-alkylsulfanes catalytically in the presence of a solvent without the addition of a further sulfur compound, and the novel compound 2-amino-6-chlorophenyl-isopropylsulfane is provided.
Abstract:
Process for preparing haloaromatic amines by catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding halonitroaromatic compounds, characterized in that iron-containing Raney nickel is used as catalyst, where the haloaromatic amines prepared can be used for the synthesis of photographic couplers which are useful in photographic emulsions or elements.
Abstract:
Hydroxypivalic acid can be prepared by oxidation of hydroxypivalaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide by metering the hydrogen peroxide, as the oxidizing agent, into an aqueous hydroxypivalaldehyde reservoir in the temperature range from 60.degree. to 80.degree. C. such that a hydrogen peroxide concentration of 4% by weight, based on the total weight of the reaction mixture, is not exceeded, and ending the addition of hydrogen peroxide as soon as the concentration of hydroxypivalaldehyde in the reaction mixture falls below 1% by weight.
Abstract:
5-Hydroxymethylthiazole is prepared in an improved manner by reducing 5-formylthiazole using a borane compound. Particularly advantageous in this case is the use of 5-formylthiazole which has been obtained by reaction of a 2-halomalonaldehyde compound with thioformamide in the presence of less than 5% by weight of water (based on the reaction mixture).
Abstract:
A mixture of 2,4-dichloro-5-fluorotoluene and 2,6-dichloro-3-fluorotoluene which cannot be separated in an economically efficient manner and can be reacted individually to give the corresponding benzonitriles is subjected according to the invention to ammoxidation in the form of this mixture and then separated at the stage of the benzonitriles by methods known to the person skilled in the art.
