摘要:
A process for the preparation of .epsilon.-caprolactone comprising:(a) reacting cyclohexanone with a solution of perpropionic acid in an organic solvent at a molar ratio of cyclohexanone;perpropionic acid of about 1.1-5:1 at a temperature of about 10.degree. to 80.degree. C. to form a reaction mixture consisting essentially of .epsilon.-caprolactone, propionic acid and organic solvent,(b) distilling the reaction mixture from (a) in a first distillation unit to obtain a distillate comprising the organic solvent and a distillation residue,(c) introducing the distillation residue from (b) at a point into a second distillation unit to obtain a distillate comprising propionic acid and unreacted cyclohexanone, removing from the second distillation unit, separately from one another and at a point below the point of introduction into the second distillation unit, .epsilon.-caprolactone and any high-boiling constituents, and,(d) distilling in a third distillation unit the distillate from (c) to obtain a distillate consisting essentially of propionic acid and a distillation residue comprising a mixture of propionic acid and cyclohexanone.

Caprolactones such as .epsilon.-caprolactone are stabilized against discoloration with dihydroxybenzenes such as hydroquinone or compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, andR.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms.Even the presence of air is not detrimental.
摘要:
4-amino-6-tert.butyl-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazin-5-one of the formula ##STR1## is produced by reacting pivaloyl cyanide and isobutylene in the presence of acetic acid and sulfuric acid, hydrolyzing the reaction mixture in the presence of water and reacting the trimethyl pyruvic acid formed with thiocarbohydrazide. The triazinone is an important intermediate product in the synthesis of the known herbicide 4-amino-6-tert.butyl-3-methylmercapto-1,2,4-triazin-5-one.

The invention relates to the production and purification of salts of 6,8-bis(amidiniumthio) octanoic acid, its enantiomers (+)-6,8-bis(amidiniumthio)octanoic acid and (-)-6,8-bis (amidiniumthio)octanoic acid and of the esters of these compounds as well as to their use to produce dihydrolipoic acid and .alpha.-lipoic acid.
摘要:
A process is described for the simultaneous production of 1,2- and 1,3-propanediol from glycerol. The process involves the reaction stages (a) dehydration of glycerol by feeding a gaseous glycerol-water mixture with 10 to 40 wt % glycerol at 250.degree. to 340.degree. C. over a solid catalyst with an H.sub.0 value (Hammett acidity function) of less than 2, preferably between -3 and -8.2, (b) hydration of the acrolein contained in the reaction mixture of stage (a), and (c) catalytic hydrogenation of the reaction mixture, containing 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde and hydroxyacetone, of stage (b). Two valuable products, namely 1,2- and 1,3-propanediol, can be obtained simultaneously and in high total yield from glycerol in a simple process.

The invention relates to the preparation of optically active salts of the general formula ##STR1## from which the corresponding optically active 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride can be obtained by treatment with mineral acid.The L(-) form of this compound is a valuable component for the synthesis of L(-) carnitine.
摘要:
To produce thiosemicarbazide hydrazine is reacted with hydrogen cyanide and sulfur to form hydrazine thiocyanate, and this is then converted into the thiosemicarbazide at an elevated temperature. Advantageously, the reaction is carried out in a polar solvent.
摘要:
Aqueous solutions of free, neutral .alpha.-amino acids are recovered from aqueous solutions of their alkali-metal salts. Two equally large rectifying columns filled with a strongly acidic cation exchanger in the H.sup.+ form are used, the discharge of the first column being connected to the head of the second column. The solution of the alkali-metal salt is at first delivered to the head of the first column, then the residual solution, reduced by the alkali-metal cations adsorbed in the exchanger, is displaced to the second column by means of the addition of water. A product-free forerun is first separated at the discharge of the second column and, when free .alpha.-amino acid begins to exit in the flow-off from the second column, the receiver is changed and the delivery of water to the head of the first column continues further until a mixed pH between 5 and 7 has been achieved in the receiver. Then, the previously first column is decoupled and regenerated, the previously second column, which is now the first column, is coupled to a freshly regenerated column as second column and the entire process is repeated as often as desired.
