  • Method of hydroxylation
    Patent number: 4116987
    Abstract: A process for the production of alcohols and esters comprises hydroxylating a saturated hydrocarbon at between about 20.degree. and about 130.degree. C. with an oxygenated amine. The amine may be a hydroxylated secondary amine or an oxide of a tertiary amine. The reaction medium includes a Lewis acid and a salt of divalent or trivalent iron.
    Type: Grant

  • Photochlorination of alkanols
    Patent number: 3993550
    Abstract: The photochlorination of alkanols, C.sub.4 and higher, is advantageously carried out in an aqueous buffered solvent whereby chlorination can predominate over oxidation. The photochlorination of cyclopentanol in an aqueous acetate buffer at a pH of about 5 forms 5-chloropentanal quantitatively.
