Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of solid acylphosphine oxides by converting an acylphosphine oxide which is in the form of a melt or in dispersed form into the solid state of aggregation with mechanical stress, shearing/internal agitation of the melt.

Abstract: A process for preparing mono- or poly-C1-C20-alkyl- and/or -halogen-substituted arylcarbonyl chlorides (I), by, in a first stage, reacting a mono- or poly-C1-C20-alkyl- and/or -halogen-substituted aromatic (II) with CCl4 in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst to give the corresponding mono- or poly-C1-C20-alkyl- and/or -halogen-substituted trichloromethylated aromatic (III), and, in a second stage, treating the trichloromethylated aromatic (III) with water or a protic acid in the presence of a catalyst to obtain the arylcarbonyl chloride (I). In a particularly preferred embodiment, the trichloromethylated aromatic (III) is not isolated as an intermediate and is used in the second stage dissolved in the solvent of the first stage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing the tautomeric form (I) of 2,4,6-trianilino-p-(carbo-2?-ethylhexyl-1?-oxy)-1,3,5-triazine by the crystallization of a tautoner mixture in the presence of one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of aliphatic alcohol having 2 8 C-atoms made of aliphatic alcohol, aliphatic carboxylic acid alkyl esters having a total of between 3–10 C-atoms, aromatic carboxylic acid alkyl esters having a total of between 8–12 C-atoms, aliphatic carboxylic acid esters having a total of between 3 9 C-atoms, carboxylic acid nitriles having a total of between 2–8 C-atoms, dialkylketones having a total of between 3–6 C-atoms and aliphatic sulphones having a total of between 3–6 C-atoms. The solvent or solvent mixture can additionally contain up to 30 wt % of a hydrocarbon (I) acts as a light protecting agent in cosmetic preparations.
