Abstract: A process for preparing an aromatic aldoxime, such as benzaldehyde oxime, by reacting the corresponding, .alpha.,.alpha.-dihalide, such as benzal chloride, with a hydroxylamine salt in the presence of an excess of an aqueous base sufficient to maintain the product oxime in solution. Organic impurities may be phase separated from the reaction mixture. Thereafter, the aqueous solution containing product oxime is neutralized to separate an oxime phase, which may be recovered by decanting or solvent extraction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a simple process for the production of anhydrous oxime by the separation of the oxime from an aqueous solution. The process is advantageous because the potential explosive hazards of current processes are eliminated and the oxime is easily separated from the aqueous phase. The process comprises the steps of:(a) vaporizing an aqueous oxime solution;(b) vaporizing a water-immiscible organic solvent for the oxime wherein the boiling point of the solvent is lower than the boiling point of the oxime;(c) combining the vapors together;(d) condensing the collected vapors;(e) removing the organic phase of the condensate from the aqueous phase; and(f) recovering anhydrous oxime from the removed organic phase.The anhydrous oxime produced by the present process if useful in applications such as isocyanate condensation and carbamate formation.

Abstract: Organo N-hydroxyimidates are prepared by reacting an organonitrile with an organic alcohol and with a hydrogen halide, in the presence of an organic solvent (which may include an excess of the organonitrile reactant), under anhydrous conditions, to form the corresponding organoimidate hydrohalide, and then reacting said organoimidate hydrohalide with a hydroxylamine salt and ammonia gas in the presence of an organic solvent (which can be the excess organonitrile from the first step), under anhydrous conditions, to produce the corresponding organo N-hydroxyimidate.

Abstract: Solid hydroxylammonium sulfate is reacted with an alcohol solution of an alkali metal hydroxide or alkoxide to produce an alcoholic hydroxylamine liquid phase and a sulfate-containing solid phase. The liquid phase may be used for further reactions such as oxidations, hydroxamic acid production or neutralization to other hydroxylammonium salts. The different bases behave differently with regard to suitable and preferable solvents and temperatures.

Abstract: A Group IVa metal halide such as methyl trichlorosilane is reacted with an oxime compound such as methyl ethyl ketone oxime in the absence of a base to form in high yields a product oximinosilane, oximinogermane or oximinostannane (e.g. methyl tris(methyl ethyl ketoximo)silane) and a by-product oxime hydrohalide. The oxime above that found in the product may be recovered by neutralization of the by-product oxime hydrohalide.

Abstract: A silicon halide such as methyl trichlorosilane is reacted with an alcohol such as isopropanol and an oxime such as methyl ethyl ketone oxime. Byproduct oxime hydrohalide is formed in all cases. With higher amounts of alcohol, alkoxysilane (e.g. methyl triisopropoxysilane) is the sole or major product. With lower amounts of alcohol, alkoxy-oxminosilanes (e.g. methyl diisopropoxy(methyl ethyl ketoximo)silane and methyl isopropoxy bis(methyl ethyl ketoximo)silane) are the major products.

Abstract: Methylnaphthalenes, indole and other tar bases are recovered from a base-extracted coal tar distillation fraction. In one form, an aqueous salt solution of pH 0.5-3 extracts other tar bases from the starting material, and thereafter both products are recovered from the raffinate by several alternate methods including ethylene glycol extraction and extractive distillation. In other forms, the starting material is extracted with ethylene glycol and the extract is distilled to recover several products including indole. The raffinate of ethylene glycol extraction contains methylnaphthalenes and other hydrocarbons and can be purified to solvent-grade material.

Abstract: An organic, substantially water-insoluble oxime product is recovered from the liquid reaction mixture of water, ammonium sulfate and the oxime product. First the reaction mixture is separated into a first liquid layer containing an aqueous ammonium sulfate solution and a second liquid layer containing an emulsion of the oxime product as the continuous phase and aqueous ammonium sulfate as the discontinuous phase. These layers are separated and the second liquid layer is contacted with solid ammonium sulfate for a time sufficient to agglomerate the discontinuous phase. The agglomerated discontinuous phase is then removed from the continuous phase. Thereafter, either a lites fraction can be distilled from the continuous phase or the oxime product can be distilled from the continuous phase, or both. The process is particularly applicable to the production of oximes such as Aldicarb oxime, cyclohexanone oxime and methylethylketoxime from aqueous reaction mixtures in which by-product ammonium sulfate is formed.

Abstract: An alpha-halo-aldehyde is reacted in aqueous media with an hydroxylamine-generating reagent at a pH between about 2 and about 9 to form the corresponding alpha-hydroxy-oxime. The products are useful as stabilizers and as complexing agents and as intermediates to unsaturated oximes, unsaturated nitriles and carbamate-type pesticides.
