Title: The Manufacture of Camphene.
Inventor: ZIMMERMANN AUGUST
Filed: 1901-12-30
Granted: 1902-11-13
Abstract: 26,620. Zimmermann, A., [Chemische Fabrik auf Act. vorm. E. Schering]. Dec. 30. Camphenes.-Camphene, free from halogen, is produced from pinene hydrochloride, hydrobromide, or hydriodide (bornyl chloride &c.) by heating these substances with bases of the aliphatic group, especially secondary bases, for example, methylamine or dimethylamine, in alcoholic solution, or diamylamine, or cyclical alkyleneimides, such as piperidine or piperazine, at about 200‹-250‹ C. for about 5 to 12 hours. The product is freed from alcohol, if it is present, by distillation, and then acidified with sulphuric acid and distilled with steam. The term camphene is here used to include hydrocarbons which are formed by splitting off water from borneol or isoborneol, and which can be transformed into borneol or isomeric borneols by hydration.
Patent GB-190209038-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture and Production of Derivatives of Naphthacene and of Intermediate Products for use therein.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1902-04-18
Granted: 1903-03-05
Abstract: 9038. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. April 18. alpha-Oxynaphthoylbenzoic acid and oxynaphthacenequinone and their derivatives are produced by heating a mixture of alpha-naphthol, or its derivatives, such as its sulphonic acids, and phthalic anhydride or phthalic acid, with concentrated or fuming sulphuric acid, with or without boric acid. The reactions are represented by the following equations :- An example is given in which alpha-oxynaphthoylbenzoic acid is produced by heating alpha-naphthol and phthalic anhydride with boric acid and sulphuric acid of 90 per cent. for two hours at 120‹-125‹ C. The melt is poured into water, and the precipitate is filtered, washed, and dissolved in soda lye, and the solution is acidified, whereupon the product separates.' After re-crystallization, it forms yellow crystals. In another example, oxynaphthacene quinone is obtained by acting upon alpha-naphthol and phthalic anhydride with boric acid and sulphuric acid, of 97 per cent. at 140‹ to 150‹ C. for 1¢ to 2 hours. The melt is run into water, and the precipitate thus obtained is filtered, washed, and treated with hot dilute caustic soda, and the slightly-soluble sodium salt of the oxyquinone thus formed is decomposed by acting upon it with water, yielding the free oxynaphthacenequinone as an orange-yellow powder. Another method of producing alpha-oxynaphthoylbenzoic acid consists in heating a naphthophtholide, such as naphthophthalein, or naphthofluorane with a caustic alkali at about 150‹ C.for some hours, and acidifying the aqueous solution of the resulting mass. Oxynaphthacenequinone may be produced by starting from alpha - oxynapbthoylbenzoic acid, or from alpha1alpha2 - naphthol sulphonic acid. Oxynaphthacene sulphonic acid is obtained from alpha-naphthol and phthalic anhydride by acting upon it with boric acid and fuming sulphuric acid containing 25 per cent. of free SO3. It dyes unmordanted wool yellow, and chrome-mordanted wool brick-red shades. Dioxynaphthacenequinone isoethinediphthalide and its derivatives are produced if a mixture of alpha-napththol or its derivatives with phthalic anhydride or phthalic acid or the condensation products obtained therefrom as above described, and concentrated or fuming sulphuric acid be heated to about 300‹ C. Sulphuric acid of 100 per cent. yields chiefly dioxynaphthacenequinone, and fuming sulphuric acid yields sulphonic acids thereof. Dioxynaphthacenequinone is also obtained by melting oxynaphthacenequinone with caustic alkali, with or without an oxydizing-agent such as potassium chlorate. Naphthacene is produced when oxynaphthacenequinone is distilled with zinc dust.
