  • Patent number: 9266808
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing hydroformylation products of olefins having at least four carbon atoms, in which a high proportion of both the linear Ci-olefins having a terminal double bond comprised in the olefin-comprising feed used and of the linear Ci-olefins having an internal double bond is converted into hydroformylation products. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for preparing 2-propylheptanol which comprises such a hydroformylation process.

  • Patent number: 6989453
    Abstract: A process for preparing 2-{1-[2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propoxyimino]-butyl}-3-hydroxy-5-(tetrahydrothiopyran-3-yl)cyclohex-2-enone lithium salt by reacting the corresponding acid 2-{1-[2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-propoxyimino]butyl}-3-hydroxy-5-(tetrahydrothiopyran-3-yl)-cyclohex-2-enone and lithium hydroxide and the isolation of the lithium salt are described. Here, it is advantageous to use a solvent mixture which comprises methanol and at least one aromatic hydrocarbon and to remove at least some of the solvent prior to the isolation. It is particularly preferred to dissolve the acid in an aromatic hydrocarbon, preferably toluene, and to use a methanolic lithium hydroxide solution. The product, which can be obtained in a more efficient manner by this process, furthermore has considerable advantages with respect to formulation.

  • Patent number: 6140428
    Abstract: A process for the simultaneous production of dicarboxylic acids and diamines from a) polymers based on polyamides of dicarboxylic acids or their derivatives with diamines, orb) compositions containing essentially such polymers, by splitting these polymers into their monomeric constituents, comprises treating these polymers or compounds with a base in alcoholic medium, and subsequently converting the resulting dicarboxylate salts electrochemically into the corresponding dicarboxylic acids and bases.

  • Patent number: 5739402
    Abstract: Preparation of mixtures of O-phenoxyalkylhydroxylamines Ia and Ib ##STR1## and the corresponding salt mixtures by a) converting mixtures of isomers of O-(2-hydroxyethyl)oximes IIa and IIb ##STR2## with a sulfonyl halide III ##STR3## into a mixture of sulfonates IVa and IVb ##STR4## b) reacting this mixture of IVa and IVb with a phenol HO-Ar (V) to give a mixture of O-phenoxyalkoximes VIa and VIb ##STR5## c) hydrolyzing this mixture in the presence of an acid and, if desired d) liberating the O-phenoxyalkylhydroxylamines Ia and Ib from the resulting salts using a mineral acid.Compounds Ia/Ib and VIa/VIb are important intermediates for crop protection agents.
