Abstract:
&bgr;-isophorone is formed by isomerizing &agr;-isophorone in the presence of an isomerizing catalyst (an aliphatic C5-20 polycarboxylic acid) in an isomerizing-reaction unit 1. The &bgr;-isophorone thus formed is oxidized with oxygen in an inert solvent in the presence of an oxidizing catalyst (a complex salt of a transition metal and an N,N′-disalicylidenediamine) in an oxidizing-reaction unit 2, thereby forming ketoisophorone. After removing a low-boiling point component, which is an impurity (non-conjugated cyclic ketone), from the reaction mixture using a distilling unit 3, a high-boiling component (oxidizing catalyst) is separated in a distilling unit 4, and then ketoisophorone is separated from the solvent in the separation unit 5. Thereafter, the solvent containing 0 to 5,000 ppm (weight basis) of the impurities and substantially free from ketoisophorone is recycled to the oxidizing reaction through a recycling line 6. According to the present invention, the combination of the isomerizing reaction and the oxidizing reaction makes it possible to produce ketoisophorone from &agr;-isophorone while maintaining the activity of the oxydizing catalyst.
Abstract:
A series of steps of (A) a step for bringing a cycloalkane into contact with molecular oxygen (oxidizing reactor 2) in the presence of an oxidizing catalyst having an imide unit of the following formula (I): wherein X represents oxygen atom or hydroxyl group; (B) a step for separating the catalyst, and by-produced acid component or a derivative thereof from the reaction mixture (filter 3, extracting column 4, hydrolyzing unit 7, saponifying unit 8); and (C) steps for separating the cycloalkane, a cycloalkanol, and a cycloalkanone from the reaction mixture individually (distilling columns 5, 6, 9, and 10) makes it possible to produce cycloalkanones efficiently. A first component (lower-boiling point component) containing the cycloalkane and a second component (higher-boiling point component) containing the cycloalkanone and cycloalkanol may be separated from the reaction mixture, and the cycloalkanone and the cycloalkanol may be separated from the higher-boiling point component. Such production process is capable of providing cycloalkanones with high efficiency.
Abstract:
In the presence of an oxidizing catalyst, a &bgr;-isophorone derivative of the following formula (1) is oxidized in a solvent substantially from acid components (organic carboxylic acids) to form a ketoisophorone derivative of the following formula (2). The amount of the acid component in the solvent is 0 to 4,000 ppm (weight basis). The oxidizing catalyst is a complex salt of a transition metal and an N,N′-disalicylidenediamine. In the reaction, a cyclic base may further be employed as a co-catalyst. The solvent separated from the reaction mixture may be recycled to the oxidation reaction after removal of the acid component contained therein.

Abstract:
In the presence of a catalytic system, an alcohol having “n” carbon atom(s) or a derivative thereof is allowed to react with carbon monoxide in a reactor 3 continuously, a higher bp catalyst component is separated from the resultant reaction mixture by a catalyst-separating column 5 to give a crude mixture, the crude mixture is fed to a higher bp component-separation column 8 to separate an overhead fraction from a bottom fraction containing at least a carboxylic acid having “n+2” carbon atoms, the overhead fraction is fed to a carboxylic acid-separating column 11, and are distilled in the presence of at least water and an ester of the carboxylic acid with the alcohol to separate a overhead fraction containing at least the ester and water from a bottom fraction containing the carboxylic acid having “n+1” carbon atoms. The overhead fraction from the carboxylic acid-separating column is fed to an aldehyde-separating column 14 to remove an overhead fraction containing an aldehyde. Such a process insures that impurities are efficiently separated from a reaction mixture by carbonylation of an alcohol, and that a carboxylic acid is purified easily at a lower cost.
