Abstract:
A process for preparing 4-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-2-butanol, comprising: a) reaction of styrene with isopropanol at elevated temperature to obtain 2-methyl-4-phenyl-2-butanol, and b) heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of 2-methyl-4-phenyl-2-butanol over a catalyst suitable for ring hydrogenation of aromatics, where the molar ratio of the styrene used in step a) to the isopropanol used in step a) is in the range from 1:below 5 to 1:0.5.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing tetrahydropyranyl esters from the corresponding 4-hydroxytetrahydropyran compounds by reaction with a ketene compound.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing 3-methylcyclopentadecane-1,5-dione of formula (I), which comprises the oxidation of 14-methyl-bicyclo[10.3.0]pentadecen[1 (12)] of formula (II) with an oxidizing agent, where the oxidation is performed by using a mixture of formic acid with H2O2 as sole oxidizing agent in the presence of water and where the amount of H2O2 is at least 1.1 mol H2O2 per mol of the compound of formula (II).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexylyalkan-3-ols, in particular 1-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)-hexan-3-ol.
