摘要:
Systems and methods for liquid-phase oxidation of an aromatic feedstock containing at least one oxidizable aromatic compound may incorporate an oxidation reactor, a separation apparatus in fluidic communication with the oxidation reactor, a solids treatment unit, and a product recovery unit in fluidic communication with the separation apparatus. The oxidation reactor may conduct liquid-phase oxidation of the oxidizable aromatic compound in the aromatic feedstock in the presence of a manganate salt to form a slurry containing liquid product and solid manganese dioxide. The separation apparatus may accept the slurry from the oxidation reactor and separate the liquid component from the solid component. The solids treatment unit accepts the solid component from the separation apparatus, treats the solid component with a basic liquid to oxidize the manganese dioxide in the solid component and form a regenerated manganate salt, which may be recycled back to the oxidation reactor.

The present invention further relates to the novel uses of certain pyridine Ruthenium catalysts.

摘要:
Oxyethylene dicarboxylic acid alkali metal salts are prepared from the corresponding oxydiethylene or polyoxyethylene diol and an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a nickel-copper-chromia catalyst at temperatures from about 200 to 300.degree. C. and pressures sufficient to maintain the reactants and products substantially in liquid phase. Preferably, the disodium salt of oxydiacetic acid is prepared by the oxidation of diethylene glycol with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of the nickel-copper-chromia catalyst. The disodium oxydiacetate can be readily precipitated from the crude reaction mixture by addition of a mixture of methoanol-isopropanol with subsequent filtration.
摘要:
This invention relates to a chemical process for preparing pentachloro-2-propanone (pentachloroacetone) and dichloroacetic acid from isopropyl ethers which may be partially chlorinated. The pentachloroacetone process is carried out by reacting the isopropyl ethers with chlorine in the presence of water to produce pentachloroacetone which can then be recovered. Alternatively, if dichloroacetic acid is desired, the pentachloroacetone process may be carried further by reacting the pentachloroacetone with a base-acting material to produce a salt of dichloroacetic acid and then reacting this salt with acid to produce dichloroacetic acid of about 95% purity.
摘要:
A process for preparing aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and esters by reaction of various substrates with carbon tetrahalides in the presence of a strong base. The reactions are accelerated by the presence of a polar solvent. Anions of the substrate attack the carbon tetrahalide to produce a halogenated intermediate and a dihalocarbene. The halogenated intermediate reacts with the base to form the indicated products. By the reactions of this process, primary alcohols are converted to aldehydes, carboxylic acids and esters, secondary alcohols are converted to ketones and ketones having an .alpha.-methyl group or both .alpha. and .alpha.' hydrogens are converted to carboxylic acids and esters. Non .alpha.-methyl ketones having .alpha. but no .alpha.' hydrogens are simply .alpha.-halogenated. The dihalocarbene generated in the reaction may attack the product, solvent, or another substrate to form other products.
