Abstract:
PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SEBACIC ACID DIESTERS FROM ADIPIC ACID MONOESTERS OF HIGHER ALCOHOLS BY ELECTROCHEMICAL CONDENSATION IN METHANOLIC SOLUTION USING CONTINUOUS OR INTERMITTENT FLOW OF CURRENT, IN WHICH A SATURATED MONOOR POLYVALENT ETHER OR A LOWER ALKANOIC ACID IS ADDED TO THE REACTION MIXTURE.
Abstract:
Bipolar electrodes having two chambers for inflow and outflow of the reaction mixture to be electrolyzed. The chambers are separated from each other by a distance which is considerably larger than their width and the inlets and outlets are on the same side of the electrode. Electrodes of this kind are suitable, for example, for the Kolbe synthesis of dicarboxylic esters from dicarboxylic half-esters. Such esters are useful as plasticizers.
Abstract:
Process for the electrochemical condensation of carboxylic acids in a solvent, in which the electrolyte is caused to flow at a rate of from 0.05 to 2 m/sec between pairs of electrodes which are impermeable to liquids and are spaced from 0.1 to 2 mm apart.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SEBACIC ACID DIESTERS OF HIGHER ALCOHOLS BY ELECTROCHEMICAL CONDENSATION OF THE CORRESPONDING ADIPIC ACID MONOESTERS IN METHANOLIC SOLUTION, WHEREIN THE FLOW OF CURRENT THROUGH THE ELECTROLYTIC CELL IS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED AND THE ELECTRODES ARE SHORTCIRCUITED.
