Patent number: 4290960Abstract: A process for the preparation of the sought-after scent 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one, and novel intermediates for the preparation of this compound.2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one is prepared by first epoxidizing hex-3-ene-2,5-diol in the liquid phase with hydrogen peroxide to give the novel compound 3,4-epoxy-hexane-2,5-diol, which at 40.degree.-280.degree. C. is converted, by means of a catalytic amount of an acid, to the novel compound 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydro-furan. The latter is dehydrogenated by means of oxygen over a silver catalyst or copper catalyst to give the nove compound 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-3-one, which is oxidized by means of bismuth oxide, in concentrated acetic acid solution, to give the desired compound 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1980Date of Patent: September 22, 1981Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Karl-Heinz Ross, Christian Dudeck, Walter Himmele, Rolf Lebkuecher, Wolfgang Sauer

Patent number: 4153410Abstract: Sulfur-free combustion gases of low soot content are produced by mixing oxygen and an off-gas of a defined composition in a defined weight ratio, passing the final mixture thus obtained through a defined number of slit channels of gas burners into a combustion chamber and combusting it at a defined temperature. Compared to the prior art, the process of the invention gives sulfur-free combustion gases, containing little or no soot (in general containing no detectable soot), more simply and more economically. These gases are used for heating, in particular for raising steam.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1977Date of Patent: May 8, 1979Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans Diem, Albrecht Aicher, Hans Haas, Christian Dudeck, Fritz Finkbeiner

Patent number: 4126582Abstract: An improved process for the manufacture of silver catalysts, in which the silver is applied to conventional dimensionally stable and chemically inert carriers, eg. alumina or quartz moldings, preferably by electroless deposition from silver salt solutions onto a great variety of surfaces acting as carriers, by the use of suitable reducing agents. In a particular embodiment, a uniform deposition of silver and a dense and well-adhering silver layer on the surface of the carrier are achieved by adding certain materials to the silver salt solutions.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1977Date of Patent: November 21, 1978Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans Diem, Christian Dudeck, Werner Simmler, Siegfried Marquardt, Walter Stingl
