摘要:
The preparation of high-quality oxo process alcohols from inconstant raw material sources is the technically demanding problem which is addressed by a process for continuously preparing an alcohol mixture, in which an input mixture which contains an olefin and has a composition that changes over time is subjected to an oligomerization to obtain an oligomerizate and at least a portion of the olefin oligomers present in the oligomerizate are hydroformylated with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a hydroformylation in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst system to give aldehydes, at least some of which are converted to the alcohol mixture by subsequent hydrogenation. The process provides a constant plasticizer quality to be produced over a long production period and, optionally, a higher throughput with the same product quality. This is achieved a) by control of the temperature and/or the conversion of the oligomerization as a function of the current composition of the oligomerizate; and b) by control of the composition of the catalyst system and/or of the pressure of the hydroformylation as a function of the current composition of the aldehydes.
摘要:
Monophosphites including a benzopinacol structure and metal complexes thereof are provided. The metal complex compositions are useful as hydroformylation catalysts. The metals of the complex include Rh, Ru, Co and Ir. A method of hydroformylation using the metal complex or the metal complex components is also provided.

An OCTOL process is disclosed which by limitation of the conversion in its individual oligomerization steps is set up particularly for the productive utilization of C4 feedstock mixtures with a low 1-butene content and which nevertheless yields a C8 product mixture having an Iso index suitable for the preparation of plasticizer alcohols.

The invention relates to a process for preparing 1,3-butadiene by heterogeneously catalysed oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butene, in which a butene mixture comprising at least 2-butene is provided. The problem that it addresses is that of specifying a process for economically viable preparation of 1,3-butadiene on the industrial scale, which is provided with a butene mixture as raw material, wherein the 1-butene content is comparatively low compared to the 2-butene content thereof, and in which the ratio of 1-butene to 2-butene is subject to variation. This problem is solved by a two-stage process in which, in a first stage, the butene mixture provided is subjected to a heterogeneously catalysed isomerization to obtain an at least partly isomerized butene mixture, and in which the at least partly isomerized butene mixture obtained in the first stage is then subjected, in a second stage, to oxidative dehydrogenation. The two-stage process leads to higher butadiene yields compared to the one-stage process.
