Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing arylpropenes, especially 1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)benzene (anethole), by means of thermolysis of the corresponding 1,1-diarylpropanes.
Abstract:
A process for preparing an arylpropene from a diarylpropane by gas phase thermolysis in the presence of solid porous catalyst comprising silica having large pore volume and low acidity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing 3-methyl-2-butenol (prenol) and 3-methyl-2-butenal (prenal) from 3-methyl-3-butenol (isoprenol), in which 3-methyl-3-butenol is subjected to a catalytic isomerization over a carbon-supported Pd catalyst in the presence of a gas mixture comprising 1% to 15% by volume of oxygen to obtain a first product mixture, and the first product mixture is subjected to an oxidative dehydrogenation over a Pd catalyst comprising SiO2 and/or Al2O3 as support material, or over a carbon-supported Pd/Au catalyst in the presence of a gas mixture comprising 5% to 25% by volume of oxygen.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of 2-substituted 4-hydroxy-4-methyltetrahydropyrans from the acid-catalyzed reaction of 3-methylbut-3-ene-1-ol with an aldehyde, a stable odoriferous quality being achieved and avoiding off-odors that interfere with the odor sensation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing 4-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-2-butanol. The process comprises the following steps: a) reaction of styrene with isopropanol at elevated temperature to obtain 4-phenyl-2-methyl-2-butanol, and b) heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of 4-phenyl-2-methyl-2-butanol over a catalyst suitable for ring hydrogenation of aromatics.
