Abstract: A method of treating wooden parts is described in which a) the wooden parts are impregnated with an aqueous cyanamide solution and subsequently b) the impregnated wooden parts, where appropriate after drying, are subjected to a heat treatment of 130 to 250° C. Here it has surprisingly emerged that impregnation with cyanamide even in small amounts has a significantly positive influence on the performance properties of the treated wooden parts, such as high hardness, low water absorption and very good weathering stability, for example. Moreover, only small amounts of a toxicologically and environmentally unobjectionable impregnating agent are needed in order to obtain these advantageous properties.

Abstract: 1,2-diols can be obtained in good yields and in very high purity by a process of a) reacting a carbonyl compound of the general formula (I) with hydrocyanic acid to give the corresponding cyanohydrin, wherein R1 and R2 are each independently H, an optionally substituted straight-chain or branched C1-C18-alkyl radical, or an optionally substituted phenyl or C5-C6-cycloalkyl radical, b) subjecting the cyanohydrin obtained in process step a) to an acidic hydrolysis, and c) catalytically hydrogenating the 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid obtained from process step b) in the presence of a noble metal catalyst comprising ruthenium and rhenium.

Abstract: According to the inventive method for catalyst-free production of cyanophenols from methoxybenzonitriles, substituted methoxybenzonitriles of general formula (I) are reacted with an alkali alcoholate at temperatures of 80-230 ° C. The inventive method is based on simple, low-cost and easily accessible raw materials and can be carried out in technically simple conditions, enabling cyanophenols to be produced with high and partially quantitative yields with guaranteed low waste levels. Sodium methanolate is used as a preferred alkali alcoholate at preferred temperatures of 140-180 ° C. The methoxybenzonitrile component can optionally be produced by ammonoxidation of a methoxytoluol of ammonia and (air-)oxygen and be directly further reacted.

Abstract: A process is claimed for the catalyst-free production of alkoxybenzonitriles by substituting monohalogenated starting compounds of the general formula I in which X denotes Cl or Br and Y denotes H, alkyl or aryl, characterized in that the starting compound and an alcoholate of the general formula Z-OAlk in which Z=Na+ or K+ and Alk=C1 to C4 alkyl are held for 2 to 10 hours at the final temperature after heating both to 90 to 250° C., then the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, is restirred after adding water and finally the end product is separated. Using this process in which preferably benzonitriles chlorinated and/or brominated in the 2- or 4-position are used as the starting compound and sodium methylate or sodium ethylate is used as the alcoholate, it is possible to economically produce the respective end products in very good yields and with a high purity in an efficient and at the same time environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing amides or esters from carboxylic acids and from an amine constituent or alcohol constituent in the presence of a 1,3,5-triazine and optionally in the presence of an organic solvent and of a tertiary amine. According to the invention, a (bi)cyclic diamine or an adduct formed therefrom with the triazine constituent is used as a tertiary amine in a preferred stoichiometric ratio of diamine to the triazine constituent ranging from 0.30 to 1.10; the stoichiometric ratio of carboxylic acid to the amine constituent or alcohol constituent should range from 0.2 to 5.0, and; the molar ratio of carboxylic acid to the triazine constituent ranges from 0.5 to 1.5. Amino acids such as N-protected amino acids and peptides serve as carboxylic acid constituents and (C-protected) amino acids or a C-protected peptide serve as the amine constituent.
