摘要:
The invention relates to the (stereoselective) hydrogenation of carbon-carbon double bonds in compounds having at least one such bond, e.g., isoprenoids, non-cyclic sesquiterpenes, tocomonoenols, tocodienols, tocotrienols or derivatives thereof, as well as to the (stereoselective) hydrogenation of parts/extracts of plant oils containing such tocotrienols or derivatives thereof, in the presence of a chiral Ir complex as the catalyst, whereby preferably one stereoisomer is manufactured in an excess.

The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-(3-methylpent-2-en-4-ynyl)cyclohex-1-ene, highly enriched in the Z-isomer, and the use of such compounds in organic syntheses, especially in processes forming intermediates (building blocks) the synthesis of vitamin A or β-carotene or other carotenoids, e.g. canthaxanthin, astaxanthin or zeaxanthin.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a process for the manufacture of 2,3,5-trimethyl-hydro-p-benzoquinone comprising the following steps: a) hydrogenating 2,6-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst in an organic solvent to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-hydro-p-benzoquinone; b) reacting 2,6-dimethyl-hydro-p-benzoquinone with a secondary amine and formal-dehyde in an organic solvent to obtain 2,6-dimethyl-3-(N,N-disubstituted aminomethyl)-hydro-p-benzoquinone; c) reacting 2,6-dimethyl-3-(N,N-disubstituted aminomethyl)-hydro-p-benzoquinone with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenolysis catalyst in an organic solvent to obtain 2,3,5-trimethylhydro-p-benzoquinone; wherein the organic solvent in all steps a), b) and c) is independently selected from the group consisting of methyl tert.-butyl ether, ethyl tert.-butyl ether, tert.-amyl ether, methoxycyclopentane and any mixtures thereof. Preferably the organic solvent used in all steps a), b) and c) is the same.
摘要:
Isomerization of β-keto-allenes of the general formula I wherein R1 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, in particular hydrogen or methyl; R2 is hydrogen or methyl; R3 is hydrogen or methyl, in particular methyl and R4 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue containing 1-37 carbon atoms, into corresponding α,γ-dienones of formula II by treatment with a basic ion exchange resin.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel processes for the manufacture of chroman derivatives such as α-tocopherol (TCP) and alkanoates thereof, especially α-tocopheryl acetate (TCPA), whereby at least one step of the processes is carried out in the presence of a Lewis acid or a mixture of a Lewis acid with a Bronsted acid as the catalyst under pressure, preferably at an absolute pressure of at least 1.1 bar.As starting materials for the manufacture of TCP and its alkanoates either a mixture of 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone (TMHQ) or 2,3,6-trimethylhydroquinone-1-alkanoate (TMHQA) and a compound selected from the group consisting of phytol (PH), isophytol (IP) and (iso)phytol derivatives or 2-phytyl-3,5,6-trimethyl-hydroquinone (PTMHQ)/3-phytyl-2,5,6-trimethylhydroquinone-1-alkanoate (PTMHQA) and/or an isomer thereof are used.Suitable Lewis acids are indium(III) salts and scandium(III) salts. Suitable acid mixtures are iron/iron(II) chloride/hydrogen chloride and zinc(II) chloride/hydrogen chloride.
摘要:
A process for the manufacture of (all-rac)-α-tocopherol by the acid-catalyzed reaction of trimethylhydroquinone with isophytol or phytol is characterized by carrying out the reaction in the presence of methane trisulphonate as the catalyst in an organic solvent. The product of the process is the most active and industrially most important member of the vitamin E group.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of alkenylated aromatic compounds featuring at least one hydroxy group, their ring-closure reactions to 5 chroman derivatives, as well as the acylation of the latter and the aromatic compounds featuring at least one hydroxy group themselves. The present invention relates especially to a process for the manufacture of tocol, tocopherols and their alkanoates such as (x-tocopherol (TCP) and alkanoates (TCPA) thereof, preferably (x-toeopheryl acetate (TCPAc). The processes of the present invention are characterized in that at least one step of the processes is carried out in the presence of an indium salt as the catalyst.
