Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for the preparation of carboxylic acid benzyl esters from dibenzyl ethers, comprising reacting dibenzyl ethers with carboxylic acids in the presence of a homogeneous acidic catalyst.

Abstract: Carboxylic acid benzyl esters can be prepared by reacting dibenzyl ethers with carboxylic anhydrides in the presence of acid, optionally applied to a support, as catalyst.

Abstract: Carboxylic benzyl esters can be prepared by reacting benzyl chloride with carboxylic acids in the presence of one or more quaternary ammonium carboxylates as catalyst.

Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of hydroxybenzoic benzyl esters by reacting benzyl chloride with hydroxybenzoic acids in the presence of one or more amides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of benzyl alcohol by hydrolysis of benzyl chloride with water at elevated temperatures, which avoids any wastewater pollution.

Abstract: A novel process for the preparation of benzyl alcohol by the hydrolysis of benzyl chloride, which operates with from 10 to 70 times the molar quantity of water at temperatures of from 80.degree. to 180.degree. C. and stops the reaction before complete conversion is reached, avoids both the addition of bases and water-soluble organic solvents and also the formation of sodium chloride.

Abstract: A process for the separation of a mixture which contains benzyl chloride, benzyl alcohol, dibenzyl ether and aqueous hydrochloric acid, wherein said mixture is continuously introduced via a side-feed into a distillation column from which aqueous hydrochloric acid and benzyl chloride are continuously taken off as overhead product, benzyl alcohol and dibenzyl ether are continuously taken off as bottom product, thereby the formation of dibenzyl ether is reduced or virtually prevented.

Abstract: In a process for the preparation of aqueous formaldehyde solutions consisting of the following steps:(a) reaction of a methanol/water/air mixture in vapor form at elevated temperature over a catalyst,(b) absorption of the reaction mixture in one or more successive absorption stages with the formation of a methanol-containing aqueous formaldehyde solution and(c) removal by fractional distillation of a fraction esentially containing methanol and water,the methanol/water/air mixture which is required for the reaction is evaporated by means of heat which is withdrawn by indirect heat exchange from the formaldehyde solution being formed in the absorber and/or at least some of the vapors obtained by fractional distillation are condensed by means of liquid water. This condensate is fed together with fresh methanol and with air into the evaporator which is upstream from the catalyst stage.
