Alkenes, alkynes or mixtures thereof are removed from feedstreams by a process which comprises contacting the feedstream with a solution of a cuprous fluorinated acetylacetone in an organic solvent containing stabilizing agent to remove alkene, alkyne or mixture thereof by forming a first cuprous complex, decomposing the first cuprous complex whereby stabilizing agent replaces alkene or alkyne in the first cuprous complex to form a second cuprous complex, and separating the displaced component. The formation of the second cuprous complex avoids any deposition of copper metal upon heating.

摘要:
Processes for producing saturated polymers monosubstituted with carboxylic amides are disclosed. One process comprises reacting a monounsaturated hydrocarbon polymer with carbon monoxide and a polyamine containing at least two amino groups at least one of which is a reactive amino group, in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of the transition metals of Group 8 to 10 and the metal compounds thereof. Another process comprises reacting a polyamine containing a reactive amino group with a monofunctionalized, saturated hydrocarbon polymer containing a carboxylic acid or carboxylic ester functional group, the monofunctionalized hydrocarbon polymer obtained by reacting a starting mono-unsaturated hydrocarbon polymer with carbon monoxide and water or alcohol in the presence of a Group 8-10 transition metal catalyst. The products of the processes are useful as additives in lubricating oils and in fuels, for example, as dispersants and/or detergents.

摘要:
A one-step process is disclosed for forming a carboxylic acid and its anhydride directly from the corresponding olefin which comprises reacting the olefin with carbon monoxide, hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of a stable rhodium complex catalyst. The rhodium catalyst is stabilized by a pentavalent Group V ligand, such as a phosphine oxide. The reaction is preferably conducted in an inert organic solvent. In an alternate embodiment, a carboxylic acid may be obtained by oxidation of an aldehyde (produced, for example, by hydroformylation of the corresponding olefin) in the presence of a rhodium complex catalyst stabilized by a pentavalent Group V ligand. This reaction is also preferably conducted in an inert organic solvent.

摘要:
Process for producing aliphatic imines and/or amines from aliphatic monohydric alcohols, such as higher molecular weight oxo alcohols, including ether alcohols, comprising the steps of dehydrogenating the alcohol to an aldehyde in situ in the presence of a zinc oxide and/or zinc salt/metal hydroxide dehydrogenation catalyst and a soluble amount of a primary aliphatic amine which condenses immediately with the aldehyde under reflux conditions, with continuous water removal, to form the corresponding aliphatic imine (Schiff base). The corresponding aliphatic amine can be formed by reducing or reductively aminating the imine in known manner to form corresponding primary, secondary or tertiary amines as desired. The step of forming the imine is most critical, and the present zinc/metal hydroxide dehydrogenation catalyst system has been found to provide a gentle, inexpensive and efficient conversion of the alcohol to the aldehyde for reaction with the gradually-added primary amine, coupled with the continuous removal of the water of condensation in order to prevent undesired secondary reactions which reduce the yield.
摘要:
Carbon monoxide is removed from feedstreams by a process which comprises contacting the feedstream with a solution of a cuprous fluorinated acetylacetonate in an organic solvent containing a stabilizing agent to remove CO by forming a first cuprous complex, decomposing the first cuprous complex whereby the stabilizing agent which replaces CO in the first cuprous complex to form a second cuprous complex, and separating the displaced CO. The formation of the second cuprous complex avoids any deposition of copper metal upon heating.
