Abstract:
s-Triazine compounds which can be used as sunscreen agents are prepared in a technically simpler manner by a process in which an ester of a branched alkanoic acid with a saturated aliphatic alcohol or, if appropriate, a mixture of such alcohols is used as the solvent in the reaction of a cyanuric halide with a p-aminobenzoate.

C. and under from 200 to 700 bar, using a complex of a palladium halide and a tertiary organic phosphine.
Abstract:
1-Formyl-2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-1-ene derivatives of the formula I ##STR1## where R is --H or --CH.sub.3 and A is O or NOH are prepared by nitrosylating the corresponding 1-formyl-2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-1-ene or -cyclohex-2-ene and, where appropriate, hydrolyzing the resulting oxime (where A is NOH) to the corresponding ketone (where A is O).The compounds I, except where R is H and A is O, are novel.
Abstract:
An improved process for the preparation of unsaturated ketones of the general formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is --CH.sub.3, ##STR2## and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are different and each is H or --CH.sub.3, by reacting an aldehyde of the general formula II ##STR3## with a molar excess of acetone or methyl ethyl ketone at an elevated temperature in the presence of an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution, wherein (a) all the reactants are mixed thoroughly, (b) the temperature is kept at from 10 to 120.degree. C. above the boiling point of the lowest-boiling component and (c) the pressure is kept at from p to 100 bar, where p is the vapor pressure of the mixture at the reaction temperature.The products methylpseudoionone, dimethylpseudoionone, pseudoirone, methylpseudoirone and dimethylpseudoirone are useful scents and scent intermediates. In addition, pseudoionone is an important intermediate for the industrial preparation of vitamin A, and 6-methyl-hepta-3,5-dien-2-one is a sought-after aromatic.
