Abstract: A carbonaceous material with organic groups obtainable by reacting carbonaceous material with organic compounds of the general formula I

Abstract: A process for the production of modified carbon black, in which a carbon black dispersion containing carbon black, water and wetting agent, is mixed with an acid, aqueous solution or suspension of a primary amine and then reacted with sodium nitrite solution.

Abstract: The inkjet ink contains at least one pigment and at least one compound having a mean particle size of greater than 50 nm from the group comprising pyrogenic silicic acid, hydrophobised pyrogenic silicic acid, pyrogenic mixed oxides or pyrogenic aluminium oxides.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing a platinum-ruthenium catalyst and the catalyst prepared therewith. The catalyst can be supported on a support material in powder form or may also be unsupported. To prepare the supported catalyst, the support material is suspended in water and the suspension is heated to at most the boiling point. While keeping the temperature of the suspension the same, solutions of hexachloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride are then added to the suspension, then the pH of the suspension is increased to a value between 6.5 and 10 by adding an alkaline solution and the noble metals are thus precipitated onto the support material. Afterwards, one or more organic carboxylic acids and/or their salts are added to the suspension and the catalyst is chemically reduced, washed, dried and optionally subsequently calcined under an inert or reducing atmosphere at a temperature between 300 und 1000° C.

Abstract: Preparation of 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diesters by rearrangement of 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-ene-1,4-dione (4-oxo-isophorone, ketoisophorone) in the presence of a solid, acid catalyst and an acylating agent, for example carboxylic acid anhydrides or carboxylic acid halides. The 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diester may then optionally be saponified to the free 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone, which is a valuable building block in the synthesis of vitamin E.
