Abstract:
Processes have been developed to obtain recycle ionic liquid streams which are active for oxidation of alkyl aromatic compounds, and which reduce the amount of 4-CBA in the solid oxidation products. The process can reduce the makeup amount of ionic liquid, carboxylic acid, catalyst, bromine source, and ammonia source. Volatile components, including carboxylic acid, such as acetic acid, and water, and solid components, such as aromatic carboxylic acids and other crystallized products, are removed, and the proper proportion of fresh or recycled carboxylic acid, water, and ammonia source or other base are added.
Abstract:
Novel synthetic routes, which are highly applicable for industrial preparation of therapeutically beneficial oxidized phospholipids are disclosed. Particularly, novel methods for efficiently preparing compounds having a glycerolic backbone and one or more oxidized moieties attached to the glycerolic backbone, which are devoid of column chromatography are disclosed. Further disclosed are novel methods of introducing phosphorous-containing moieties such as phosphate moieties to compounds having glycerolic backbone and intermediates formed thereby.

Abstract:
The present invention comprises a process for the preparation of 3-chloro-2-fluoro-5- trifluoromethyl benzoic acid of the formula or of a salt thereof. 3-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-trifluoromethyl benzoic acid or salts thereof are versatile intermediates for the preparation of active pharmaceutical or agrochemical agents.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process of oxidation of alcohols selectively to aldehydes or ketones with NaOCI using a TEMPO - borate catalyst system. It is shown that the oxidation can be efficiently carried out without KBr additives under solvent free conditions. Aldehydes such as 3,3-dimethylbutyraldehyde can be produced efficiently using the present invention.

Abstract:
A method for producing 2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenylacetic acid comprising a step of reacting a 2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl magnesium halide with ethylene oxide to obtain 2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl) ethanol; and a step of oxidizing 2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl) ethanol. The oxidation is conducted preferably further in the presence of a nitroxyl radical, and more preferably in the presence of a salt of a hypohalous acid and/or a salt of a halous acid.
