Appl. No.:

09/750567

International Classification:

C07C 67/36
C07C 67/38
C07C 67/24

US Classification:

560233, 560232, 560240

Abstract:

Disclosed is a process for the production of esters. In particular, the process includes contacting an olefin or an ether with carbon monoxide and an acid composition comprising BF. 2CHOH to from a product composition, adding an alcohol to the product composition, and separating the BF. 2CHOH from the ester. The separated BF. 2CHOH may then be recycled to the reaction unit.

International Classification:

C07C 29/04
C07C 67/08

US Classification:

568899, 560 99

Abstract:

Oxo-alcohols in the plasticizer range typically contain small amounts of methyl esters having the same alkyl chain as the alcohol itself. These methyl esters are causing product quality problems and environmental problems because of transesterification in the esterification process where the plasticizer ester derivatives are produced. A process using controlled oxonation and hydrogenation conditions is disclosed for the production of alcohols containing low amounts of methyl esters. Plasticizer esters with low amounts of aliphatic di-alkyl esters are also disclosed.

US Classification:

568899, 560 99

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein relate to a process for the production of a C-Calcohol mixture comprising the steps of: hydroformylating an olefin mixture comprising a branched C-Colefin to form a hydroformylation product comprising aldehydes and formate esters, whereby the hydroformylation product has a net cold sap number from 15 to 38 mg KOH/g, and converting the aldehydes and formate esters to alcohols in a hydrogenation step comprising at least one first hydrogenation reactor comprising a fixed bed of a heterogeneous sulphided bimetallic catalyst.

Abstract:

Provided are compositions, processes for making, and processes for using neoalkyl polyol esters and triglycerides as plasticizers. In one form, a neoalkylester triglyceride plasticizers can be produced by (i) drying a polyol feedstream; (ii) contacting in a reactor the dried polyol feedstream with a neoacid feedstream under effective temperature, pressure and time to form a neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream, and (iii) purifying the neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream to remove unreacted polyol and unreacted neoacid to form a neoalkylester plasticizer. Such plasticizers can be phthalate-free and provide outstanding properties including a suitable melting or pour point, glass transition temperature, low volatility, increased compatibility, increased hydrolytic stability, and excellent low temperature properties in a range of polymeric resins.

International Classification:

C07C 5114

US Classification:

562521

Abstract:

A process for controlling the regeneration of boron trifluoride catalyst complexes in the production of carboxylic acids and other products using boron trifluoride hydrates as a catalyst. Catalyst strength is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity of the catalyst recovered from hydrolysis. If the conductivity is greater than a predetermined value, the hydrolysis water rate is reduced and if the conductivity is leas than a predetermined value, the hydrolysis water rate is increased. Conductivity is determined by a toroidal conductivity sensor and a control valve responsive to operation of the conductivity sensor serves to increase or decrease the flow rate accordingly.
