摘要:
A process of preparing cyclopentadiene or substituted cyclopentadienes, such as tetramethylcyclopentadiene. The process involves contacting under reaction conditions cyclopentenol or a substituted cyclopentenol with a catalyst selected from (1) crystalline and amorphous aluminum phosphates, (2) aluminophosphate molecular sieves, and (3) silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieves. The process produces cyclopentadienes in high isolated yields.
摘要:
A composition comprising a mixture of dialkylbenzene monosulfonic acids or salts thereof containing greater than about 60 weight percent of the para dialkylbenzene isomer and greater than about 80 weight percent of the combined di(2-alkyl)benzene and di(3-alkyl)benzene isomers. The composition exhibits improved properties as a mineral collector in ore flotation.
摘要:
Monoalkylated benzene such as ethylbenzene and cumene or monoalkylated substituted benzene are produced by alkylation in the presence of an acidic mordenite zeolite catalyst having a silica/alumina molar ratio of at least 40:1, preferably 160:1. In a subsequent, optional process, the polyalkylated benzene or polyalkylated substituted benzene produced in the alkylation is transalkylated in the presence of an acidic mordenite zeolite catalyst.
摘要:
Alkylated benzenes such as ethylbenzene and cumene are produced by alkylation and/or transalkylation in the presence of an acidic mordenite zeolite catalyst having a silica/alumina molar ratio of at least 30:1 and a crystalline structure which is determined by X-ray diffraction to be a matrix of Cmcm symmetry having dispersed therein domains of Cmmm symmetry.
摘要:
A process of separating the ortho, meta and para isomers of ethyltoluene. One aspect employs a ferrierite absorbent which separates the para isomer from a mixture of the same and at least one of the meta and ortho isomers. A second aspect employs a silicalite absorbent which separates the ortho isomer from a mixture of the same and the meta isomer. A third aspect combines the ferrierite and silicalite absorbents in sequence to separate a mixture of the ortho, meta and para isomers into the essentially pure compounds.
摘要:
A process of catalytically reacting a 3-18 carbon mono-olefin such as cyclohexene with an arylhydroxide such as phenol in the liquid phase forming an ortho-alkylated arylhydroxide which is subsequently catalytically dehydrogentated to form an ortho-alkenylarylhydroxide or ortho-arylarylhydroxide such as ortho-phenylphenol.
摘要:
A process of recovering monoalkylbenzene and pure 1,3,5-trialkylbenzene from an isomeric mixture containing dialkyl- and trialkylbenzenes. The process comprises transalkylating a monocyclic aromatic compound with a mixture of dialkyl- and trialkyl-benzenes in the presence of an acidic mordenite zeolite under conditions such that monoalkylbenzene and predominantly 1,3,5-trialkylbenzene are formed. 1,3,5-trialkylbenzene is isolated in pure form from a mixture of the same and 1,2,4- and/or 1,2,3-trialkylbenzene by use of a dealuminated zeolite Y adsorbent.
摘要:
Polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as biphenyl, are alkylated with an alkylating agent, such as propylene, in the presence of an acidic mordenite zeolite catalyst under conditions sufficient to produce a mixture of substituted polycyclic aromatic compounds enriched in the linear- and near linear-alkylated isomers, such as p,p'- and p,m'-di(isopropyl)biphenyl. The novel acidic mordenite catalyst is characterized by its silica/alumina molar ratio, its porosity, and a Symmetry Index. Mixtures of the p,p'- and p,m'-disubstituted isomers of polycyclic aromatic compounds are useful as monomers in the preparation of improved thermotropic, liquid crystal polymers.
摘要:
Aromatic compounds, such as benzene or biphenyl, are alkylated with an alkylating agent having from one to eight carbons atoms, such as propylene, in the presence of an acidic mordenite zeolite catalyst under conditions sufficient to produce a mixture of substituted aromatic compounds enriched in the linear alkylated isomers, such as p-diisopropylbenzene or p,p'-di(isopropyl)biphenyl, respectively. The novel acidic mordenite catalyst is characterized by its silica/alumina molar ratio, its porosity, and a Symmetry Index. The p,p'-disubstituted isomers of aromatic compounds are useful as monomers in the preparation of thermotropic, liquid crystal polymers.
摘要:
A catalytic intermediate useful in the preparation of ortho-alkylated aromatic amines is prepared by heating an amine in the presence of aluminum metal, zinc metal and aluminum chloride. This catalytic intermediate is used to alkylate aromatic amines which may be the same as or different from the amine used in the catalytic intermediate preparation. In a preferred embodiment, toluenediamine is alkylated in the ortho positions to form diethyltoluenediamine.
