  • Patent number: 11623913
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of synthesizing a (1R,2R)-nitroalcohol compound of formula (I), as shown in the following reaction scheme, including: subjecting a compound of formula (II) and a compound of formula (III) to a condensation reaction in an organic solvent in the presence of a copper complex generated in situ from a chiral (1S,2R)-amino alcohol ligand and a cupric salt to produce the (1R,2R)-nitroalcohol compound of formula (I), where R1 and R2 are defined in the same manner as that in the specification. The method involves mild reaction conditions, excellent diastereoselectivity and high chemical yield, and thus it is suitable for industrial applications.

  • Patent number: 9376323
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a tetrafluoroborate producing method that allows high-yield, high-efficiency production of a tetrafluoroborate by a continuous process, a tetrafluoroborate-containing electrolyte, and an electrical storage device including such an electrolyte. The invention provides a method for producing a tetrafluoroborate, which includes: a first step including dissolving boron trifluoride gas in an organic solvent; a second step including adding, to the organic solvent, a fluoride (MFn, wherein M represents a metal or NH4, and 1?n?3) in an amount stoichiometrically equivalent to or less than the amount of the boron trifluoride so that a tetrafluoroborate solution is produced; and a third step including circulating the tetrafluoroborate solution through the first step so that the boron trifluoride gas is dissolved in the tetrafluoroborate solution instead of the organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 5895824
    Abstract: In a process for preparing polyether polyols containing aromatics by molecular addition of alkylene oxides to H-functional initiators at from 70.degree. C. to 135.degree. C. and pressures of from 0.1 MPa to 1.0 MPa, the alkoxylation is carried out using at least one initiator comprising at least 95% by weight of 2,3 and 3,4 isomers of tolylenediamine, from 0.5 to 4% by weight of 2,4 and 2,6 isomers of tolylenediamine and from 0.1 to 1.5% by weight of more volatile fractions from tolylenediamine production. The polyether polyols prepared by this process can be used as component of a polyol mixture for producing rigid polyurethane foams.

  • Patent number: 5874647
    Abstract: A zeolite catalyst for hydroxylating benzene to phenol is treated hydrothermally with a gas comprising approximately 1-100 mole percent water at a temperature between approximately 350.degree.-950.degree. C., and subsequently is treated with an acid. This treatment selectively removes aluminum species from the zeolite catalyst in a manner that increases catalyst stability in phenol production without reducing the activity of the catalyst.
