摘要:
What is disclosed is a process for producing &egr;-caprolactone which comprises removing impurities by distillation from a reaction mixture obtained by co-oxidation of cyclohexanone and aldehyde, wherein &egr;-caprolactone separated from a purifying column is contacted with oxygen containing gas in the presence of cobalt. High boiling point components are removed to give an acid value of lower than 0.15 mgKOH/g. Thereby, a high quality &egr;-caprolactone providing improved polymer appearance is produced advantageously on an industrial scale without repeated purifying distillations or without using expensive stabilizer or adsorbent for the improvement of color.

A process for producing pyromellitic acid which comprises oxidizing 2,4,5-trimethylbenzaldehyde and/or its oxidized derivative in the presence of a catalyst containing iron, manganese and bromine, or additionally containing zirconium or cerium continuously or semi-continuously using aqueous acetic acid solvent and 0.05-2% by weight of bromide ion. The catalyst used in the present invention has high activity, and the catalyst solution has low corrosive because the reaction is performed at low bromide concentration by using a solvent of aqueous acetic acid. So pyromellitic acid is produced industrially advantageously in high yield continuously or semi-continuously which has been a major difficulty up to now.

A process for refined pyromellitic anhydride which comprises dissolving crude pyromellitic acid or crude pyromellitic anhydride in water, then cooling an aqueous solution thus obtained to perform crystallization as pyromellitic acid, then separating a crystal thus obtained from water, then anhydrating the crystal of pyromellitic acid thus separated with heating to produce pyromellitic anhydride, then vaporizing pyromellitic anhydride thus produced, cooling vapor of pyromellitic anhydride thus obtained, and thereby, recovering a refined crystal of pyromellitic anhydride.
摘要:
A method of producing pyromellitic dianhydride. The method includes a step of heating a crude pyromellitic acid in the absence of acetic anhydride to convert a part of pyromellitic acid to pyromellitic anhydride, and a subsequent step of heating the resultant mixture in the presence of acetic anhydride to complete the anhydrization of pyromellitic acid. The pyromellitic dianhydride by the method contains little pyromellitic monoanhydride and other monoanhydrides derived from impurities and is less discolored. The pyromellitic dianhydride has particle properties not causing plugging, etc. during its transportation, storage and use.

摘要:
The present invention provides an acid anhydride ester obtained by esterifying cyclohexane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid-1,2-anhydride and a composition of the ester, and a heat-curable resin composition and a cured product of the composition. _Provided is an epoxy resin composition using the acid anhydride ester as a curing agent for an epoxy resin, the epoxy resin composition having, for example, the following properties (1), (2), and (3): (1) the epoxy resin composition has a low viscosity at room temperature, so the components of the composition can be favorably blended with each other, (2) the acid anhydride ester has a low vapor pressure at curing temperature, so no evaporation loss occurs after curing, and the intended design of blend is capable, and (3) a cured product to be made from the composition is colorless and transparent, and changes its color to a small extent even when the product is irradiated with light or heated for a long time period. The composition is suitably used as, for example, an encapsulant for a photoelectric conversion element such as a blue LED or a white LED, a molded article, a coating, or an adhesive.
摘要:
A curing agent for epoxy resins which comprises cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid anhydride (A) comprising trans,trans-1,2,4-cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid 1,2-anhydride expressed by formula (1) and aliphatic dicarboxylic acid anhydride (B) and an epoxy resin composition which comprises the curing agent and an epoxy resin are provided. The curing agent of the present invention can be handled easily since the curing agent is liquid at the ordinary temperature, exhibits an excellent curing property without addition of a curing accelerator and provides a cured product of an epoxy resin exhibiting excellent transmission of light and heat stability. The epoxy resin composition can be advantageously used for coating materials, adhesives, molded products, resins for encapsulating photo-semiconductors and coating fluids for protective films of color filters constituting liquid crystal display devices (LCD), solid state imaging devices (CCD) and electroluminescence (EL) devices.
摘要:
In the production of an alicyclic aldehyde, a starting aromatic aldehyde is converted into an aromatic acetal for protecting the formyl group. The aromatic ring of the aromatic acetal is then hydrogenated to convert the aromatic acetal into an alicyclic acetal, which is then hydrolyzed to cleave the acetal protecting group to obtain the aimed alicyclic aldehyde.
