3-Dialkylaminopropionitriles ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl which may furthermore be bonded to form a 5-membered or 6-membered ring, bis-(2-cyanoethyl) ether IINC--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CN IIand, if desired, ethylenecyanohydrin IIIHO--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CN IIIare prepared jointly by a process in which(a) acrylonitrile and water are reacted in the presence of a base at from 60.degree. to 150.degree. C. to give a mixture of acrylonitrile, water and bis-(2-cyanoethyl) ether II, the base being a mineral base, a quaternary nitrogen base or a mixture of these,(b) this mixture is reacted at about 0.degree.-50.degree. C. with a dialkylamine of the general formula IV ##STR2## to give a mixture of water, a dialkylaminopropionitrile I and bis-(2-cyanoethyl) ether II, and this mixture is separated into its components and(c) if desired, the ether II obtained in proces stage (b) or an aqueous solution of this ether and/or the reacted mixtures containing this ether and obtained from process stage (a) or (b) is allowed to react at from 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. with the dialkylamine IV to give a mixture of a 3-dialkylaminopropionitrile I and ethylenecyanohydrin III, and, if desired, the said mixture is separated into its components.
摘要:
Caprolactam is prepared in a process comprising the following steps:(a) reacting the 5-formylvaleric ester with liquid ammonia as reaction medium and hydrogen in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst in liquid phase at from 80.degree. to 140.degree. C. under a hydrogen partial pressure of from 40 to 100 bar,(b) replacing the reaction medium ammonia by an aromatic hydrocarbon having a boiling point of from 80.degree. to 240.degree. C. which is liquid under the reaction conditions,(c) heating the resulting mixture in liquid phase under superatmospheric pressure at 230.degree.-350.degree. C. to form caprolactam, and(d) isolating caprolactam from the resulting reaction mixture.

Ethylene glycol is prepared from carbon monoxide and hydrogen in homogeneous liquid phase under superatmospheric pressure and at elevated temperature in the presence of a rhodium-containing catalyst and in the presence of an organic solvent, the organic solvent used being a C.sub.2 -C.sub.20 -n-alkanol and the concentration of this alkanol, based on the total amount of the mixture, constantly being maintained at not less than 50% by weight.
摘要:
Caprolactam is prepared by a process in which(a) the 5-formylvalerate is reacted with excess ammonia and hydrogen in the presence of an alkanol as the solvent and in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst under superatmospheric pressure in the liquid phase at from 40.degree. to 130.degree. C.,(b) excess ammonia and hydrogen are separated off from the reaction mixture,(c) the resulting reaction mixture is reacted with water at elevated temperatures with simultaneous removal of alkanols, and(d) the reaction mixture thus obtained is heated to 150.degree.-370.degree. C. and .epsilon.-caprolactam is obtained.
