Abstract: In a process for preparing oxidation products of cyclohexane by catalytic oxidation with oxygen-containing gases in the liquid phase, where the gases are brought into contact essentially uniformly with the liquid cyclohexane in a reaction zone, liquid cyclohexane and the oxygen-containing gases are passed in countercurrent through the reaction zone.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of polyalcohols comprises the stages:(a) Reaction of an alkanal or ketone with formaldehyde in aqueous solution in the presence of a tertiary amine, to form a formates containing polyalcohol product mixture,(b) removal of water, excess tertiary amine, excess formaldehyde(c) heating of remaining mixture from (b) with removal of further formaldehyde and tertiary amine with formation of the formates of the polyalcohol,(d) transfer of tertiary amine removed from stage (b) and/or from stage (c), to synthesis stage (a) and/or to the subsequent transesterification stage (e),(e) transesterification of the resulting formates of the polyalcohol from stage (c) with an alcohol of the formula ROH in the presence of a transesterification catalyst to give polyalcohols and formates of the formula ##STR1## where R is a hydrocarbon radical, preferably alkyl of 1-6, particularly preferably 1-2, carbon atoms, and(f) isolation of the polyalcohols.

Abstract: Fungicidal mixture, comprisinga) an oxime ether carboxamide of the formula I ##STR1## where R is hydrogen or halogen and b) 1-(2-cyano-2-methoxyiminoacetyl)-3-ethylurea (II)H.sub.3 CCH.sub.2 --NHCONH--C (CN).dbd.NOCH.sub.3 IIin a synergistically active amount.

Abstract: Nitrobenzene or a nitrobenzene substituted on the nucleus is subjected to reductive coupling to give the corresponding azobenzene and azoxybenzene under heterogeneous catalysis with substantial avoidance of overreduction to aniline derivatives by means of a redox catalyst in its reduced or partly reduced form, the redox catalyst containing at least one active metal component capable of a change of oxidation state.
