摘要:
A process for preparing trisubstituted ureas is disclosed. A nitroarene is reacted with carbon monoxide and a secondary amine in the presence of a Group VIII transition metal catalyst and optionally one or more promoters selected from primary amines, halide ion-containing compounds, and chelating phosphorus and nitrogen compounds.
摘要:
Aromatic bis (dialkyl) ureas such as the bis (dimethyl) urea of 2,4-toluenediamine are prepared by reacting an aromatic diamine with isocyanic acid (HNCO) to convert the amino groups of the diamine to urea groups (--NHCONH.sub.2) to give an aromatic bis urea which is then reacted with a dialkyl amine having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms to produce the desired aromatic bis (dialkyl) urea.
摘要:
Prochiral ethylenically unsaturated substrates are converted to chiral epoxides by reaction with optically active hydroperoxides in the presence of transition metal catalysts. For example, chiral glycidol is obtained by asymmetric epoxidation of allyl alcohol using optically active ethyl benzene hydroperoxide and a titaniuym alkoxide/tartrate catalyst. The chiral epoxide products are versatile synthetic intermediates.
摘要:
Olefins are epoxidized by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an organorhenium oxide catalyst and an alkyl aryl secondary alcohol solvent. High yields of epoxides with minimal non-selective loss of either hydrogen peroxide or olefin are realized. The epoxidation may comprise one step of an integrated process wherein an oxidant mixture is generated by molecular oxygen oxidation of the alkyl aryl secondary alcohol and used directly in the epoxidation without further purification or extraction.
摘要:
A process for making aryl-, heteroaryl-, or cycloalkyl-substituted alkyl urethanes is disclosed. The urethanes are prepared by electrophilic carbamylation of aromatic compounds with alkylene bis(carbamic acid esters) or the equivalent in the presence of an acidic catalyst and a polar aprotic solvent. The alkyl urethanes may be cracked to give the corresponding substituted alkyl isocyanates.
摘要:
Allyl alcohol is hydroformated to 1,4-butanediol using a rhodium and trialkyl phosphine catalyst having at least 2 methyl groups, the reaction first being carried out at milder conditions and subsequently at more, severe conditions.
摘要:
Diphenylmethane mono and dicarbamates and polymethylene polyphenyl carbamate homologs and derivatives of these compounds are produced by the protonic or Lewis acid catalyzed rearrangement of an (alkoxycarbonyl)phenylaminomethylphenyl compound having the general formula ##STR1## INCLUDING THE HIGHER HOMOLOGS OF SUCH COMPOUNDS, WHEREIN X, Y AND Z, WHICH ARE DIFFERENT ON THE RING, ARE AN ALKYL GROUP HAVING FROM 1 TO 3 CARBON ATOMS, AN --NHCOOR, --CH.sub.2 ArNHCOOR or --N(COOR)CH.sub.2 Ar group; x, y and z may also be at least one hydrogen; R is a 1 to 3 carbon alkyl group and Ar is phenyl which may be substituted with a 1 to 3 carbon atom alkyl group.
摘要:
A method for the removal and recovery of selenium from a urethane solution containing selenium compounds, which may be in the form of inorganic selenium and/or organoselenium compounds, which comprises contacting the selenium-containing urethane solution at a suitable temperature with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution and recovering the selenium from the resulting selenium compound enriched aqueous phase in a form suitable for reuse in the preparation of urethanes, the deselenized urethane remaining in the hydrocarbon and/or organic phase.
摘要:
Molecular sieve zeolites containing niobium isomorphously substituted in their framework lattice are obtained by hydrothermal crystallization using quaternary ammonium templates. The zeolites are useful catalysts, particularly for the oxidation of hydrocarbons such as olefins.
摘要:
A crystalline molecular sieve having a framework structure isomorphous with zeolite beta and containing Si and Ti, but essentially no framework Al, usefully catalyzes olefin epoxidation wherein hydrogen peroxide or an organic hydroperoxide is utilized as the oxidizing agent.
