Title: Process for preparing 1,6 hexane diol with a level of purity over 99 %
Inventor: PINKOS ROLF
IPC: C07C29/149
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1,6 hexane diol from a carboxylic acid mixture containing adipic acid, 6-hydroxy caproic acid and, in small quantities, 1,4 cyclohexane diols. Said mixture is obtained as a by-product of the oxidation of cyclohexane into cyclohexanone/ cyclohexanol by water extraction of the reaction mixture. Said process involves esterification of the acids and hydrogenation. According to this process (a) the monocarboxylic acids and the dicarboxylic acids contained in the aqueous dicarboxylic acid mixture are reacted with a low-molecular alcohol to form the corresponding carboxylic acid esters; (b) the excess alcohol and low-boiling agents of the resultant esterification mixture are released in a first distillation stage; (c) separating into an ester fraction substantially free of 1,4 cyclohexane diols and a fraction containing at least the greater part of the 1,4 cyclohexane diols is carried out from the bottom product in a second distillation stage; (d) the ester fraction substantially free of 1,4 cyclohexane diols is catalytically hydrogenated; and (e) in a pure distillation stage 1,6 hexane diol is extracted from the hydrogenated discharge in a known manner.
Patent CA-2249612-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SENARATNE K PUSHPANANDA A
IPC: C07F9/50
Filed: 1997-03-24
Abstract: Partially sterically-hindered cycloalkyl chlorides are reacted with lithium diarylphosphides in inert liquid hydrocarbon reaction media to form cycloalkyldiarylphosphines. Aryl lithium is coproduced. The process makes it possible to avoid, or at least substantially eliminate, the interaction with or cleavage of cyclic ether reaction media such as tetrahydrofuran, previously the solvent of choice for conducting this type of reaction. Also during the conduct of the present process the chloro-substituted cycloalkane does not undergo any appreciable reaction with the coproduced aryl lithium as it is formed. Thus improvements both in yield and quality of the cycloalkyldiarylphosphine product are made possible. A comprehensive three-step process for converting triarylphosphine to cycloalkyldiarylphosphine is also described.
