摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the halogenation of cyclopropylmethyl ketone with at least one dihalo-triorganophosphorane of the general formula I R3PHal2 (I), in which the radicals R can be the same or different and denote a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic C1-C20 hydrocarbon radical, a phenyl or (C1-C4 alkyl)phenyl radical, which may be optionally substituted by one or two fluorine, chlorine and/or nitro groups, P stands for phosphorus and Hal denotes chlorine, bromine, or iodine, at a temperature of from 800° to 130° C., where the dihalo-triorganophosphane of the general formula (I) is synthesized in situ from triorganophosphane oxide or triorganophosphane sulfide of the general formula II R3PA (II), in which R is as defined above with respect to formula I and A denotes oxygen or sulfur, using a halogenating agent, wherein the triorganophosphane oxide or triorganophosphane sulfide is used in catalytic amounts, to the halogenation product of cyclopropylmethyl ketone obtained in said process, and to a process for the conversion of said halogenation product to cyclopropylacetytene.
摘要:
A process is provided for the production of formaldehyde from methyl chloride. In the process methyl chloride is oxidized with air over a catalyst to give formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a mixture of two different catalysts is used, one catalyst to promote the hydrolysis of methyl chloride to methyl alcohol, and the other catalyst to oxidize the methyl alcohol so formed to formaldehyde. The reaction kinetics can be regulated by adjusting the proportion of the two catalysts in the mixture. In this manner, the release of heat from the reaction can be controlled and excessive temperatures in the catalyst mixture can be avoided.
摘要:
A process for Friedel-Crafts type liquid-phase alkylation or acylation of an aromatic compound using a hydrotalcite-type basic anionic clay catalyst represented by a formula: [(M2+)1−x(M3+)x(OH)2]x+[Ay−]x/y q H2O where M2+ is a divalent cation selected from Mg2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Cu2+ or a mixture thereof, M3+ is a trivalent cation selected from Ga3+, In3+ Al3+, Fe3+ Cr3+ or a mixture thereof; x is a mole fraction of trivalent cations in the range of about 0.05 to about 0.5; O is oxygen; H is hydrogen; Ay− is an anion; y minus is an anionic negative charge having a value of 1 minus or 2 minus; and q is a number of water molecules, as the water of hydration; and involving following steps: i. pretreating said catalyst by contacting it with a halogen containing compound in the presence or absence of a non-aqueous solvent and optionally washing the pretreated catalyst with non-aqueous solvent or liquid aromatic compound to be alkylated or acylated; and then ii. contacting a liquid reaction mixture comprising said aromatic compound and said alkylating or acylating agent in the presence or absence of a non-aqueous solvent with the catalyst obtained from step (i) in a stirred batch reactor fitted with a reflux condenser under vigorous stirring, in the presence or absence of an inert gas bubbling through the reaction mixture, at effective reaction conditions; iii. cooling the reaction mixture to a temperature about 30° C., removing said catalyst from the reaction mixture by filtration and then separating the reaction products from the reaction mixture, and optionally washing the used catalyst by non-aqueous solvent; and if desired, iv. reusing the used catalyst directly with or without drying for the subsequent reaction batch avoiding step (i), is disclosed.
