Abstract:
s-Triazine compounds which can be used as sunscreen agents are prepared in a technically simpler manner by a process in which an ester of a branched alkanoic acid with a saturated aliphatic alcohol or, if appropriate, a mixture of such alcohols is used as the solvent in the reaction of a cyanuric halide with a p-aminobenzoate.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Process for the preparation of the compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib ##STR1## wherein A. 2,4,4-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one oxime of the formula IIb ##STR2## is treated with a strong aqueous acid at from 30.degree. to 80.degree. C., preferably 40.degree. to 70.degree. C.,B. the resulting ketone of the formula IIIb ##STR3## is oxidized in a conventional manner, and C. if desired, the resulting compound Ib is isomerized in a conventional manner.Compounds of the formula A ##STR4## where R is one of the following radicals: --CH(OH)--CH.sub.2 --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 (IIIb), --CH(OH)--CH.sub.3 (IIIc), --CH.sub.2 OH (IIId), --CH(OH)--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 (IIIe), --CH(OCOCH.sub.3)--CH.sub.3 (IIIf), --CH.sub.2 --OCOCH.sub.3 (IIIg), --CO--CH.sub.2 --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 (Ib), --CO--CH.sub.3 (Ic) and --CO--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 (Ie).The compounds IIIb to IIIg, Ib, Ic and Ie are useful scents and aromas, and furthermore may become important intermediates for novel carotenoids. They can be prepared in a relatively simple manner from compounds which are very readily available.
Abstract:
An improved process for the preparation of cyclocitrals of the general formula I ##STR1## via the novel N-methylaldimines of the general formula II ##STR2## and the novel N-methylaldimines of the formula II. The cyclocitrals of the formula I are obtained in yields of 80-90%, based on citral employed. The compounds I and II are important intermediates for the preparation of fragrances and carotinoids, such as vitamin A, and products related thereto.
