Abstract:
5-Fluoropyrimidines are obtained in an advantageous manner from halogenated 5-unsubstituted pyrimidines, when these are reacted with elemental fluorine in the presence of a solvent.
Abstract:
The novel copper catalyst on an Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -containing carrier which is impregnated with compounds of manganese and of one or more rare earth metals, having a Cu content of 0.1-5% by weight, a total content of compounds of manganese and of the rare earth metal or metals of 0.05 to 8% by weight, calculated as metals, is described, the weight ratio of rare earth metal(s) to manganese being 5:1-1:5, calculated as metal, and all percentages being relative to the total weight of the catalyst. Such catalyst is prepared by first impregnating the carrier with compounds of manganese and of the rare earth metal or metals, then fixing the copper salt on the impregnated carrier and activating the catalyst in a preferred manner by treatment with H.sub.2 at 150.degree. to 350.degree. C. Such a catalyst is suitable, for example, for the N-alkylation of aromatic amines with alkanols, where the aromatic amines can be prepared from the parent nitro compounds in an alkylation reactor with simultaneous addition of H.sub.2.

The instant invention is directed to aminomethyl cyclododecanes selected from the group consisting of aminomethyl cyclododecanes, bis-(aminomethyl)-cyclododecanes, tris-(aminomethyl)-cyclododecanes and mixtures thereof. The invention is also directed to a process for producing aminomethyl cyclododecanes, bis-(aminomethyl)-cyclododecanes, tris-(aminomethyl)-cyclododecanes, and mixtures thereof comprising reacting cyclododeca-1,5,9-triene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a rhodium-containing catalyst at temperatures of from 80.degree. to 180.degree. C. and under pressures of from 30 to 900 bars, separating the catalyst off from the hydroformylation product and treating the hydroformylation products with hydrogen at from 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. in the presence of ammonia and a hydrogenation catalyst, optionally after separating by distillation into the individual components.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of aromatic amines which additionally still contain C-C multiple bonds, characterized in that aromatic nitro compounds which still contain C-C multiple bonds are hydrogenated in the presence of cobalt sulphides as catalysts, at 20.degree. to 140.degree. C and at 5 to 150 bars hydrogen pressure.
Abstract:
1-Amino anthraquinone is prepared by reacting 1-nitro-anthraquinone with ammonia in water and/or an organic solvent and thereafter treating the 1-amino-anthraquinone imine formed with water thereby converting said imine into 1-amino anthraquinone.
Abstract:
Coumaranedione-3-monoximes which may be substituted in the benzene ring by halo or alkyl. The compounds are obtained by treating the corresponding 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid lactone with nitrous acid or with an ester, salt or chloride of nitrous acid in an acid medium. The coumaranedione-3-monoxime thus obtained is an intermediate which undergoes hydrogenation in the presence of a suitable acid anhydride to afford the corresponding 3-amidocoumaranone, which compound, upon hydrolysis in the presence of dilute acid, affords the corresponding .alpha.-amino-2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. That product is also an intermediate which has utility in the synthesis of antibiotics, including cephalosporin and penicillin derivatives.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of polyaromatic compounds in which an aromatic dichloro compound, optionally in the presence of an anhydrous aprotic solvent, is reacted with metallic zinc, manganese or magnesium in the presence of a catalyst system of(1) from 0.1 to 25 mol-% (based on the dihalogen compound) of a nickel salt, nickel complex salt or nickel complex,(2) from 2 to 100 mol per mol of nickel in (1) of a triarylphosphine and optionally(3) from 0.1 to 10 mol per mol of nickel (1) of a halide, sulphate or phosphate of an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, zinc, magnesium or manganese.
Abstract:
Trifluoromethanesulphenyl chloride is prepared by reacting bis-(trifluoromethyl)disulfane in the liquid phase with chlorine in the presence of a strong acid.
Abstract:
Unsymmetric biaryl compounds are prepared by coupling two different halogenoaromatics by reaction with a metal and carrying out the reaction in the presence of catalytic amounts of a nickel compound, a promoter and a phosphorus-containing ligand.
