    摘要: A solvent is at least partially separated from a catalyst. The catalyst comprises nickel and a bidentate phosphorus-containing ligand. The method for separation involves distilling a catalyst solution. The ratio of 2-pentenenitrile to 3-pentenenitrile in distillation column bottoms is controlled to reduce the amount of 3-pentenenitrile which is isomerized to form 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile. Isomerization of 3-pentenenitrile to 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile and subsequent isomerization of 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile to 2-methyl-2-butenenitrile, and/or hydrocyanation of 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile to methylglutaronitrile represents a loss in adiponitrile yield in a process for making adiponitrile.

    摘要: A process of hydrolyzing a monodentate, bidentate or tridentate phosphorus-based phosphite ester ligand or ligand blend for a transition metal catalyst comprising contacting the ligand or ligand blend with a hydrolysis catalyst of the formula (R11X11)nP(OH)3-n where n is 0, 1 or 2 wherein the ligand or ligand blend comprises one or more of (i) a bidentate biphosphite ligand of formula (III), (R12—X12)(R13—X13)P—X14—Y—X24—P(X22—R22)(X23—R23), (ii) a tridentate triphosphite ligand of formula (IIIA) (R12—X12)(R13—X13)P—X14—Y—X32—P(X34—R34)—(X33—Y2—K24—P(X23—R23)—(X22—R22) or (iii) a monodentate phosphite ligand of formula (IV) P(X1—R1)(X2—R2)(X3—R3) where each X is oxygen or a bond and each Y is an optionally substituted C6-C20 arylene, followed by separation of the ligand hydrolysis products.

    摘要: Disclosed is a process for manufacturing copolyether ester polyol comprising: (1) providing feedstock comprising polytetramethylene ether glycol having a number average molecular weight of 350 g/mol or less and an oligomeric cyclic ether content of 4.0% by weight or more and a diacid composition selected from alpha-omega alkanedioic acids of formula HO2C—(CH2)n—CO2H, where n is from 2 through 16 to a reaction zone maintained at reaction conditions to produce a crude polyol product; (2) feeding the crude polyol product of step (1) to a separation zone at separation conditions to produce a first separation product having an oligomeric cyclic ether content of 2.0% by weight or greater, and a second separation product comprising copolyether ester polyol having an oligomeric cyclic ether content of less than 2.0% by weight; and (3) recovering the second separation product.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for the hydrocyanation of organic ethylenically unsaturated compounds including at least one nitrile function. The invention specifically relates to a method for the hydrocyanation of a hydrocarbon compound including at least one ethylenic unsaturation by a reaction with hydrogen cyanide in a liquid medium and in the presence of a catalyst including a metal element selected from the transition metals and an organophosphorous ligand, the organophosphorous ligand including a compound of general formula (I), where R1 and R2, which are identical or different, are a linear or branched alkyl radical having 1-12 carbon atoms, which can include heteroatoms, or an optionally substituted aromatic or cycloaliphatic radical that can include heteroatoms, wherein the covalent bond between P and R1, and that between P and R2, are P—C bonds.
